Guys, if you're reading this board and want to get into a little heavier DIY project than an oil change, a 9K wheel bearing is a great project! It's not that tough, you'll totally get to see how your whole front brakes and suspension work and go together, and you can save yourself some easy money!
btw, you don't need to remove your tie rod end to do a wheel bearing. basically it's remove wheel, swing the caliper out of the way, remove wheel nut, remove the four allen head bolts that come in from the backside and sandwich the bearing, backing plate and steering knuckle, and you're pulling the bearing off! you can check some other things while you're in there, namely brake pads and rotor, but also the struts, yank the inspection cover off the wheel liner and peek around at the front of the engine (good time to inspect harmonic balancer and serpentine idlers and tensioners).
Anyways, don't be intimidated by a wheel bearing, it's an elementary job, not EASY as you will encounter some stubborn bolts ( good 1/2 drive socket set and breaker bar required) but a good time to get nice and personal with your saab :)
