Difference between Wheel bearing Press vs Wheel Hub Assembly? Sign In

I see you can purchase the whole wheel bearing assembly and just fit it in. But when I asked my mechanic he says he has to get the bearing pressed in and requires more labour? Isn't it cheaper now a days to get the whole wheel bearing assembly as a whole? or am I missing something? I cannot find anything on the internet.

On some vehicles , the wheel bearing is not a complete assembly
Those have to be pressed into the Steering Knuckle
They can be pressed in without removing the knuckle if the mechanic has the proper tool
If not he can remove the knuckle and have it pressed.

What's the year ,make model and engine size of your vehicle?
