Wheel Bearings Fit For Purpose?

I had both sets of rear wheel bearings replaced 15 months ago by a main dealer. Mileage at that time was about 65,000 miles. However, one side has gone again after approx 25,000 miles. The dealer said that the parts were only covered by a one year warranty so they would not replace them for free. I asked them to consider fitting them for free if I payed for the parts. They are still saying no. I feel that either there was a fault with the bearings or they where not fitted correctly. Can I claim that they were not fit for purpose and put pressure on them to replace them by suggesting I will go to the small claims court? The cost of replacement is £200.
