Both the rear wheel bearings on my 2002 E39 540 are on their last legs.
I have been informed by my indie that it is an 8 hour job to replace both bearings.
Is this reasonable, or can the job be done quicker, at £96 per hour, I am looking at nearly £800 for labour curse

Thanks for all the very useful info, the write up is brilliant, way beyond my spannering ability.
Also I think buying all the tools required would cost more than the job eek

Could anyone recommend an Indie in the West Kent area.
