Hi
My rear wheel bearings need replacement, is it cheaper labor wise to just get the entire hub assembly with the bearing pressed on or just get the bearing and have it pressed on?

If it is rear disc brakes, the hub comes as an assy. If it is drum brakes, bearing replacement would be much cheaper where I am located.
