Wheel Bearings
Does anyone know if the wheel bearings in a 2001 A6 2.7T are a do-it-yourself job or do they have to be replaced by a qualified mechanic with specialty tools?

In general, you need a hydraulic press or similar tool to R&R wheel bearings...
There are some bearing puller tools that can R&R the bearing w/o removing the strut. these tools may be purchased or rented from some auto parts stores. So it is possible to do this repair while the strut is still on the car. But overall, it might be less costly to have a good indy shop do the job than yourself.

How long should it take for a shop to replace a front wheel bearing? Shop wants to charge two hours.
