Wheel Bearing replacement

Its probably wheel bearing time. Front left. I see these look like a real pain to change. Are they even worth finding the specialized LR tools to do this? What kind of price should I expect per axle from a shop? I figure if one is going I should be prepared for others to go soon. Plus my rear brake shield has rusted through the shoe retaining pin hole.

Save a lot of time if you pick up a hub rather than dismantle and fit bairings.a bug washer on rear brake shoe retaining pin hole works fine .There is also a plate that is in 2 halves that will save you a lot of time if you want to renew good luck.

Can be a PItA, to do the bearing, I got my local mechanic to do mine and he was swearing and that was with a new hub assembly to fit in the process. Unless you have a press then I would send it to a garage..... There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜œ

Thank folks, rik unfortunately these years are not the kind you can buy a hub and bearing pre-pressed.
NorthernMonkeyjones I've got the $30/hr mechanic with a press and the works. Wasn't sure how necessary the RR specific tools were or if universal Hub puller and bearing tools can do the job.

Not had to do the bearings yet but just had both rear brake shields replaced on my TD6 - mechanic slitted the shields with a slitter disc on an angle grinder and bent them slightly to fit around the axle - job done and not expensive either ! Before this I was looking at the split shields from the states at 500+ !
