Fixing wheel bearings?

What would be the repair cost of wheel bearings on a Mazda 3 sport 2004?
Got a whirring sound that others have recognised as wheel bearings.
The car isn't running as smooth as it was when I first borrowed it.
already I've had the car keys stolen so I think I should pay for this repair? besides I want to stay friends.

not going to be cheap as they normally have be removed using specialised tools and the rear is sometimes the complete hub that has to be replaced, wheel bearings wear over the life of the car so won't be any thing you have done just unlucky that the symptons have appeared after you borrowed it
