anything special to changing a wheel bearing yourself?
Pretty positive the rear pass. wheel bearing is no good so are there any tricks/tips to doing it yourself? I have access to a lift/tools etc but will I need to have it pressed by a shop?
Any advice is appreciated!

Easiest way will be to remove the spindle and have it pressed in/out by a shop. I've heard of people doing it with the spindle attached to the car using some kind of weird tool that bolts to the hub, but it just sounds like too much BS to me. Any garage or machine shop should be able to do it for you in a few minutes for like $20

Think its called the Hub Shark:

Or the Hub Tamer:
Amazon.com: OTC 6537 Hub Tamer Elite Master Set: Automotive
But maybe rent one?

Ok what exactly would be needed to press the bearing in if I take the spindle off because its a friends dad's machine shop ill be doing the work at. I'm not sure if I want to pay $75 for a bearing and $40 for a tool to put it in if its simple to take the spindle off & press it myself for free. I suppose could see if autozone rents out those bearing tools though.
I've never done a bearing on my own so im just trying to get as much info as I can thanks!
