Time for Front Brakes and Wheel Bearings

Well, I am still noticing a slight pull/fade to the right side while driving, which gets significantly stronger under braking. I've had an allignment done recently, which seemed to help a bit, but I think I will go after the front brakes and wheel bearings. So for just around $200 (Canadian) I will be doing the following...

Callipers - $25 ea. exchange
Brake hoses - $39 ea. (these are cracked quite badly - don't want a failure)
Inner wheel bearings - $15 ea.
Outer wheel bearings - $16 ea.
Inner grease seal - $4 ea.
Misc. shop supplies... oh right, these are my supplies - - free (kinda)

I plan on reusing the rotors and pads, since the rotors are nice and smooth and the pads are reasonably new.

I'm going after the bearings because the are slightly worn (rattling). I tried re-loading them, but a day later, the rattle is back. It looks and feels like the inners, but I'll do the whole shot while I'm in there.

I just love how cheap these parts still are. I can only imagine what all these parts for a newer vehicle would cost...
