Default right front wheel bearing

Looking for advice on this one. Is this something that can be done at home or is it not worth the hassle trying to save the cash! I am mechanic by trade but sometimes it's not worth it. I am located in newark delaware if anyone has a good recommendation on a repair shop. 2004 A4 quottro avant

from what i know,its the same effort as any other wheel bearing,but you need a press to get it out.

Well I decided to go for it dealer wanted 550.00 other audi shops quoted 350.00. bought the parts for 100.00 and jumped in. 6 hours and I'm done worst part was getting the bearing assembly off the car, we the disimilar metal it's not a good thing, once I beat it off the car it was just loaded with corrosion on the bottom half of the bearing housing. All and all not to bad learned a few tricks and would do it again.
