how do I replace my rear wheel bearing?

[POS carb]

are these units pressed in?
Are there any tools to do the job with the suspension arm still on the car?

holy crapola. You're still around Eric? haha.

anyway, the rears are real simple to remove/replace. It's the fronts that are a bitch.

For the rears:

Just grab your 32mm spindle socket and a breaker bar, crack the nut free, then crack the lug nuts free, jack up the car, remove the lugs, pull the wheel off, remove the spindle nut, pull off the rear hub assembly (held on by that spindle nut), slide the new one on, thread on and torque up the spindle nut (I would use a new one if you have it), put the wheel back on, drop it and tighten everything back up.

Easy peazy lemon squeezy.

Oh some people will say you can get the bearing out of the hub,don't even try lol, had to machine the race out of one to make an adaptor for machining a wheel, and it was a sob, had to beat the bearing cage out with a sledgehammer
