Default Do you trust these hubs?

So the front right wheel bearing on my car is on it's way out, I don't have a bearing press and the dealer wants ~$270 (which is about the going rate), I know I could do it myself with a hammer and chisel but even then I don't feel like buying the good grease and ----.

So I figured that I may as well do a few things at once:
-Swap the Spindle/Steering knuckle for the DC Integra one
-Swap the trailing arms for the DC Integra ones
-Get new hubs for the front
-Legend calipers, yadda yadda

I was just wondering if you guys would trust these:

I googled "Timken problems" and didn't find anything, but still I don't trust non-OE parts that much.

Another thing, the Integra hubs have a different number of splines in the hub right?
I'm pretty sure they do.

whats wrong with buying the 60 dollar bearing and finding a local shop to press the old one out and back in? im sure if you pull everything off a local p[lace would do all the pressing pretty cheap

any machine shop will press them out. Any honda with over 125k should have them replaced.



This is a major issue that people seem to ignore ven though honda says to replace them at 100k

I know how to do it. I didn't know they sold that at Pepboys, I was gonna make the trip to harbor freight to check out what they had.

Two of the wheel studs are stripped as well, so $90 for both brand new hubs, vs $80 for the press and new studs.

Machine shops in Orlando are non-existant, they're all "performance shops".

Timken is a very well known bearing manufacturer in a variety of industrial markets. I would trust them.
