Wheel bearing replacement cost
for a Nissan Sentra

Replacing a wheel bearing on a Nissan Sentra involves removing the wheel, brake caliper, and rotor to access and press out the old bearing hub assembly and install a new one. The cost is primarily driven by the price of the replacement bearing/hub assembly and the labour time required, which can vary significantly if the bearing is seized.

Cost breakdown

Parts: ~$80-$180 / Labour: ~$140-$270

What affects the price

Whether a pre-assembled hub unit (more expensive) or just the bearing (cheaper, more labour) is used
Severe corrosion or seized components adding significant labour time
Model year and drivetrain (FWD vs. AWD) affecting part cost and complexity

Can you do it yourself?

Possible with skill — Requires a hydraulic press, torque wrench, and potentially a large breaker bar. Pressing the bearing in/out is the most challenging step for DIY.

Tips before you pay

Diagnose carefully; a humming noise that changes with speed is a classic bearing symptom.
Consider replacing the hub assembly as a unit for easier installation if you lack a press.
Always use a new axle nut and torque it to the exact factory specification to prevent failure.
