Got mine from autozone for 90 bucks and it worked fine so far for about 3 months. Bearing removal and replacement requires a thin 36MM socket to complete. Lots and lots of pulling, banging, WD40 and about an hour will do it. Make sure the inner race of the bearing comes off otherwise it's a pain to get off. Good luck.

Wd40 is great for displacing water, but that's about it. If you really want the inner race to come off easier, then use a good penetrating fluid and start soaking a day ahead of time. I use "pb blaster". It can be found at most auto part stores. Rent or buy a gear/pulley/bearing puller that will fit and save yourself some beating. If your carefull and smooth with the removal, the inner race will come out with the bearing. If not, first try the puller.if that won't work or dosnt reach,use a 4:5" angle grinder with a 1l16" cut off blade and cut a slice in the race being very carefull not to cut into the spindle. Then use a cold chisle to open race a bit. Should slide off like the rest of it. Don't try too spend too little on the bearing, get the best deal if you have too, but stay away from no name bearings. I always buy the hub assembly with the bearing as it saves time and money in the long run. Last thing is you should also replace spindle nut and give your new bearing a brand new dust cap. Hope this helps.
