I could swear this was all answered in the original thread..

HOWEVER:

Replaceing the hub can be done entirely at home, by the DIY'er. The new hub contains an already-pressed bearing in it.

Replacing the bearing involves a shop (or a 12 ton press, whichever is more accessable). remove hub, press old bearing out, new one in, replace hub. either way.. you are looking at paying labor charges to press the bearings in/out.

your call, dude.. you can find a new hub for a relatively cheap price, go that route. You are looking at a new bearing (~$60.00) and an hour of labor to press out/in.

Add those together, and see if you can find a new hub for that price. the other reason to buy a hub outright would be if the bearing has been bad in the original hub for a while, effectively ruining the hub and making any newly pressed bearings not last.
