Front wheel bearings and hubs replacement- 2000 LS400
Hi all,
I need my front wheel bearings replaced and I'm thinking of replacing the hubs as well for the heck of it. I am capable of taking the spindles/knuckles off the car, but I don't think I'd be able to pull out the old bearings and pop in the new bearings by hand. So, I was thinking of taking both of the entire spindle assemblies to a shop, along with new bearings and hubs, and letting them replace the parts.
My main question is, what is the parts list that I'd need to supply a shop with to replace the bearings and hubs? I see the bearings on RockAuto, but the hubs seem hard to find. Are these the only two parts needed?

Why replace it? I don't think there is any reason to replace the hub or knuckle. I think you just press the new bearing in. I'm not sure if you need to replace other parts like the snap ring (probably).
Here's a vid on the process

The hub should only be replaced if it's damaged. Def don't buy a hub from RA get a Toyota part.
The NSK bearing at RA is an excellent choice if you dont want to pay dealer prices.
