Book time to R&R bearing in one hub is 45 min. About 1.5 hours per axle.
You can get the bearings from Autozone, Advance Auto, etc. for about $15 each.
Any of these are fine to use: Timken SET37, SKF BR37, *** KIT38 or National A-37
The hub seals you have to order, unless you have a dealer close. They may still stock them. You'll pay more, but it sounds like you are in a time crunch.
If you order them from someone, I'd get a couple extra.

We may have scared him away.
For anyone that did not understand my Redneck Response regarding the functionality of the gasket, I could have just said that they improve the sealing capabilities of the those two mating surfaces. I am afraid that without them, you would have a fluid leak from the hubs and also allow the entry of more contaminants. I guess you could use some "Form-a-Gasket" type goop, but I was advised to just go with the paper gaskets.

Yeah freakycorpse everybody here has a Smart *** answer but we really do want to help. What we were trying to say is for $200 for a wheel bearing job is just a dream. It cost around that much just for the parts: Wheel bearings (8), RTC3511 Oil Seal (4), and Lock washer (4). Plus labor which is anywhere from $35-$50/hour and it is a 3-4 hour job. So you are better off having a weekend or free week day to sit down and do the work yourself. If you need step by step directions we will gladly help. We will also say download the RAVE manual, WHICH IS FREE, and read first and ask questions later.
