I really want to wait for it to warm up a bit outside as doing this job in the driveway in 36F weather is not my idea of fun

Wheel bearings don't wear they can last literally a million miles. Almost exclusively damage from impact (pot holes etc). They are not a maintenance item keep the extra as a spare you are exactly as likely to need to replace the same one you just replaced as the other side.

Also I've done about ten of those on car replace, search for my threads on the subject. I don't get on xo often anymore but if you pm I think I get an email notice so I can check in.
