we charge 1 hour each side on that job with a front brake job ..but today we tryed out a brand new tool from Matco tools it's a in car press that fits on the wheel studs and presses the hub off only takes 15mins to get it out now and don't have to pull the whole hub assembly anymore!

lol, if you can get a written quote from a shop and if it is cheap (like150-200) then do it because they wont realize what they have gotten themselves into. i had a shop quote me 150 for the front, just labor.
i just did it myself in a day though.

it's not hard to do with the right tools but I replaced the hub-over-rotor to rotor-over-hub setup just to make it easy for future brake work.

if I remember right you just replace the hub and rotor with a 98-99CL 2.3 one when you press your old one out if the bearing doesn't fit right then you have to replace the front knuckle with the CL one ,not 100% sure as I went 5 lug ..

This is actually an extremely easy job to do. Remove the axle nut, push out the axle, lower ball joint castle nut and the four bolts on the backside of the knuckle that hold the hub. Then, insert two extra long 10mm 1.25 pitch bolts through the knuckle into the hub. Bang on teh bolts. The hub/bearing assembly will come out. No need to remove the knuckle, use that stupid ass press or seperate the bearing assembly. This gets the job done in about 45 minutes for both sides.
