Had my local shop do the work today. $200 labor (2 hours) + $200 parts (bearing and hub). They did show me the parts and the hub was worn - it actually fit into the bearing without being pressed. While I think $97/hour is a little high (for St. Louis), it was cheaper than the $600 quoted by the dealer.

They had no idea why the locking nut came lose 2.5 turns since January. Maybe the play in the failing bearing caused that.

All fixed. thanks for all the help.
