Just noticed on saturday that I need to right rear wheel bearing. Can anyone tell me how hard these are to replace?? Im guessing there not to bad just curious. thanks
Pretty easy as all you can get is the assembly. About $50 from Advance or Auto Zone.
Just take the brakes off, then there's 4 bolts to remove the bearing assy. Use Lock Tite
and torque them to the spec when re-installing, then re-install the brakes.

Yeah, except dont use Autozone unless you want to do it again in a short time.
Look at your odometer, thats how long this one lasted. My guess is not to bad, prolly over 100k. Remember you get what you pay for, you buy cheap, you get cheap.

For the rear brakes you dont need to remove your rear brakes.
Its just 4 bolts, thats all.
K thanks guys, thats what I thought. Reason the bearing is bad is I slid off the road back in december and the R/R took most of the beating. But I did just roll 99k on saturday lol
how do u know your is bad? What are the signs?

I have a weird vibration at highway speeds. So I checked my wheels and I can wiggle the RR back and forth by hand
(2000 Sunfire) Are the rears just like the fronts, only you don't have to remove the shoes?
IIRC correctly in these models you cannot replace the bearing alone, you also have to replace the hub.
