Hey guys,

After getting back in town last night it sounds like one of my wheel bearings in my s2k is going out. AP1 with 109,xxx miles.
Probably about time to change them anyways. Unfortunately I don't have the space right now or tools to do it myself.
Does anyone have a good shop that they would recommend that I take it to? I can be picky when taking my car to a shop.
I mean who else is going to value my car like I do?

I've been told and read online the S2000 is about $500/corner to have it done vs about $35 for the bearing.

I have space, a lift, a press, most tools, and experience replacing all 4 hubs. I don't have the ball-joint tool or the bearing separator (I borrowed them last time). If you can borrow or buy those two tools. I can help you.

If you'd rather pay someone, Dewayne's Automotive (on Hwy 150 between 115 and 801) is trustworthy, fair and does good work. Tell him Will Hunter sent you.

Will I would honestly much rather do that. I'll see if I can get the wheel bearings in by the weekend as I think this is the first weekend I'm actually not traveling. PM sent your way with my phone number.

Did I ever get those tools back from you? No biggie either way, just don't remember...

I brought them back shortly after replacing my bearings last October. I didn't want to keep them too long because, at the time, it seemed you were changing bearings or hubs more frequently than oil. :-)

I put them on the shelf with similar plastic clamshell boxes.

I guess if you need to borrow them again, you know where to find them.

Could be worse, The box could have included someone to sit around drinking beer while watching you suffer through this agonizing task. ;-)

Hope you can make it. Misery loves company.
