Non-captive Rotors are easy. Captive rotors are a PITA.
Bearings can be easy if you buy/get the bearings already pressed into the hubs. If you get them seperate, they have to be pressed into the hubs at a machine shop

yup..you've got the bearing only. You'll need the old ones pressed out and the new ones pressed in.
Hrmm I wonder if the Fedral/mogul are any beter quality that hyundai OEM?
