I got my wheel bearing hubs replaced today. Took 6 hours to do. The bolts and old hubs where extremely hard to get lose. My car drives so quiet now and very smooth, well worth the pulled muscled and terrible pain I'm now in. I'm very glad I changed them. The old hubs were still very solid. I could not see anything wrong with them, however they must have been bad since the car stoped vibrating and humming when they were replaced.
