Location: Zionsville, Indiana | Assuming you don't want the mess on you and your surroundings, the cost for someone else to do it will vary a bit depending on where you are. Here in the midwest we charge a flat rate of $25.00 per wheel for 7000# axles and smaller, plus new seals at $3 to $4 each. This is assuming that the bearings are good. New bearings and races will average $15 to $25 per wheel, depending on the axle size, plus $5 per wheel to drive the old races out and the new races in. |

Location: Texas | Last quote I got here in TX was $200 for all four.
Now, I had to work on one on the road once, and found that it was not as tough as I expected. Very messy, and it seemed the trick may be getting them the right tightness/tension.
I may do my own next time |

Location: North Carolina | Jeepers !!! Horse people afraid of a little mess !! never heard of such outside of a show ring. Must be show people LOL  Pair of nitril gloves, lots of rags and a can of solvent make for easy cleanup of parts and tools. Pull the gloves off, turning them inside out and I don't even need soap later. I get more grease on me from the hitch ball than this job.

Location: Texas | But, you get them to tight, like the mechanic did whom I did paid to do them, and you can have some serious issues. I'm glad I did my walk around while getting fuel, feeling each hub, and found one super hot. Thus, learning how to take it apart and loosen a tad.
