looked at NAPA.com, and didnt' see any that were over 20 dollars. probably have to pull of the hubs and take them in somewhere to have the old bearings pressed out and new ones pressed in, unless you can do it yourself.

I love the Moreys red grease. Been using it for about 5 years and have had no issues with it. Last time I changed bearings and brakes on my 76 Ford I think it was around $100 with pads, rotors bearings and seals. So for just bearings probably around $25 a side.
