Wheel bearing replacement

New to the community just got a 2013 g37xS sedan. During the first week of driving I hear a in and out humming noise and more apparent when turning to the left. I Knew it was a bad wheel bearing found one at autozone for 99.99 duralast. Watched videos on YouTube on how to do it so I had an idea going into the project. Could not find any where on Google search the correct axle nut size so I bought a 36mm socket also from AutoZone. But come to find out the axle nut was a 32mm which I already had in my tool set I later returned the 36. Started with removing the whole calipers from the knuckle. Then the rotor came off with a gentle wack of a rubber hammer. Removed the abs sensor, came off like butter. Then whacked the hub a few times with a hammer and it popped off. Spun the old bearing around a few times and you can tell it was bad. Cleaned the rust off popped the new bearing in aligned the bolt holes and the abs sensor slot. Was in and out in about a half hour. Now driving like a maniac again.

Sounds like a decent job.... makes me wonder why the stealership is charging me $550 to replace it. SMH
