Wheel bearing shock!!!! Options

[GT4WRC]

Both front wheel bearings on the 4 are starting to show signs of wear so called the local Toyota Stealership for a quote on 2 kits. "Yes sir, we can supply kits for your GT-Four. NZ$360" Ouch, thought I, but still not too bad for 2 OEM bearing kits. "Err, that's per side sir" Well, I nearly dropped the phone and asked for reassurance that he wasn't joking.

Talk about extortion Local autofactors wanted $NZ100 per side but weren't sure if it was a complete kit with new seals etc. So, I placed a call to a dealer in Wellington and spoke to a chap in parts there who has been known to do wonders with OE parts prices. 2 days later he calls me back "NZ$250 for 2 kits" he says. Much better

Overnight courier actually takes 3 days to arrive , so need to wait until Wednesday to fit them now. Fortunately I have access to a fully kitted out workshop so should only take a couple of hours or so to do both sides.
