Do you already have the part? As there are two ways to replace it.

You can either replace the whole hub with bearing or press out the bearing from the old hub and press in a new bearing.

The latter is the cheaper option.

Why not buy new?

I've done a couple, it really is a pain in the ass. You'll need access to a press.

Bought one of those and never used it, sits at my desk as I attained an entire hub,

Will sell mine for $75 inc postage if you want.

Interesting... never knew they also fit the Lancer, always thought it was Gen 3 Magna... then again, they're probably all the same!
