Usually you can hear them get noisy over time and sound like you're driving with old crappy mud tires. Loud and howl a lot. Insert wife joke here:

    If you can get the spindle off you could always just walk into a shop with the new bearing in hand and have them do the work. Hopefully on the cheap.

    But...I'm finding as these cars get older and crustier the abs sensors are starting to seize into the spindles. They kinda have to be removed to press the bearing out(or in?). So if you're gonna attempt it, maybe try to remove the sensor from the spindle before anything else, if it's stuck then order up a new one and try again when you get it.

    Maybe consider swapping the whole spindle out if you can find a decent used one.

    Didn't even think about that... In hindsight, I should have bought Dirks whole car for the measly 5 bills they gave him...
