I actually got it from harbor freight for like $70 front wheel bearing service kit. You will need a pneumatic impact though or else it won't be easy. Its a snap with the impact gun. I know most people hate harbor freight but for stuff like this there products work awesome 
Imma have to make another trip down to the kit then. thanks.

Good information! I'm going to order the wheel bearing tool set, some new bearings and give it a try. Kinda pissed that I just replaced the axle and the noise is still there.

wheel bearings
Hey everyone,
When I'm driving there is a humming noise coming from the right front of my car, when I turn left the noise gets louder, when I turn right there is no noise. I'm assuming this is the right front wheel bearing, but could it possibly be anything else? And if it is the wheel bearing, how hard is this to change? Is it pressed in? Will I need anything special to remove it and put it in? I hate paying some overweight sweaty man $60 and hour to do something I could do. Let me know. Thanks!

hey all you do is remove the brakes rotor and backing plate and hub nut then its the 4 bolts that surround the drive axle the heads are on the inside facing away from u all u do is remove those and pul it out (they pick up road grime dirt and debris inbetween 2 metal piecesof the housings it will be a fight trust me) replace with new one tightening bolts in correct order i don no if they come pre greassed or if u have 2 pack them ur self then just tighten then back in carefully
I've gone through 6-8(lost count by now) front bearings in the 250,000km I've had the car... (the ones currently on the car are from autopartsway.ca and one of them has been there for close to 100,000km so I'm hoping they'll last)
mcgarvey described it pretty much spot on... I've watched my mechanic do this every time and I wouldn't attempt it without proper equipment... just the pressing of the old bearing out and the pressing the new one in you need a press and proper size cylinders (to reach into the hub)
It usually costs me about 100$ total (~60$ for the bearing and ~40$ for the labour)
Does anyone have a preferred wheel bearing model?

So the ones I got from autopartsway.ca (http://www.autopartsway.ca/PartList..../pagenum1/tabS) seem to last a long time. My ex left with the Lancer and at that time both bearings had way over 100k km on them and still weren't making any noise. One of them must have even had over 150k km easy...

ummm I have seen moog and duralast. The auto stores around me have stopped carrying brands like skf and timken. And my mechanic is pressing me to get it done now. I found some NAPA proformer bearings and hub assembly for 74 a piece..
