Default Wheel bearing replacement

I need to replace my right front wheel bearing and was wondering how hard it is to DIY. I have done wheel bearings before but on older cars but never on an audi! Anyone ever done it, have advice? Repair shop is trying to charge $230 for the part and almost $200.00 in labor. I've found the part at a couple different places for way cheaper!! Checkers has the part for under a $100.00. Any advice is appreciated!!!

P.S.

The hard part is getting the bearing out of the hub, you have to press it out.

Or, perhaps press the hub out of the bearing...

yep, it sucks, you have to get them pressed out just like auditech said. too bad you don't have a 4.2, they are much easier, just 4 bolts hold them in, then it just comes out, no pressing required.
