Default Without the extraction tool or a press, yes. If you have those, then not too bad. Unless a 2000 w/
aluminium uprights.

Default What about the Hub Shark? Does that make it easier?
One of mine is starting to sing to me.

Default How much did you get quoted per wheel?
I have access to a press but Im not sure I want to go through that much work if the price is right

What if you do have a 2000. Then what is it easier or harder?
