Default Checking wheel bearing

How difficult is it to change out / repair the passenger side rear wheel bearing? After ripping my brakes apart I think the noise has to be from there or the parking brake assembly.

NM I found some info and the noise gets quieter as I drive faster so it must be something else.

One puts the car of lift and listens with a stethoscope as the rear tires are driven slowly up and down to speed...............front is spun up with a on car balance machine.

It's pretty easy. You need a hub puller and a very large axel nut socket (don't recall the size, but they're large.). I bought mine at Kragen for about $12. Have a huge breaker bar (I used a craftsman 18inch breaker with a 42 inch pipe on the end and had no problem breaking it loose). Don't overtorque it down when you tighten it down because the nut can crush the dust shield on the bearing, so use a torque wrench. The bearings are pre-greased but I added more anyway just to be safe. I'm not too familiar with the procedures for the rear bearings, but it should be fairly simple with a big enough breaker bar and elbow grease.
