Well, I did the Brutal fix on the driver side headlight, replaced the ballast, rear rotors and brake pads + rear tires.

How much?

$250 for slightly used Continental Contact 3s hehehehe, might have been hot, don`t care, why I don`t know can`t hurt me.

$278 to install tires, pads and for new rotors (mechanic owed me big time).

So now we discover that the right rear bearing needs changing. Anyone know where I can get one cheap? How hard is it to install?

I have replaced them before on other vehicles anything from front wheel drive front hubs to rear solid axle bearing to independants. Haven't done the Jag though. But being the rear is independant should'nt be too hard just alot of removing parts. One tip and someone correct me since I havent done the Jag but when the axle is run through the hub make sure you loosen the axle nut first while its on the ground. Pop out the center cap on your wheel and loosen just a bit then procede to removing everything. This will depend on how the axle is attached as like I said I've not done this on the Jag but there have been a few that wasn't held with a codder pin and nut and the nut was so tight I couldn't get it off since the axle wanted to spin with the nut I ended up having to put everything back together to get it back on the ground to do this one step. So check into that before ripping to far into it.
