    Not difficult. Here's what's typically involved:

    1. Loosen wheel lug nuts, raise rear of vehicle, and support securely on jack stands. Block front wheels and remove rear wheels.

    2. Remove brake drum (parking brake must be off).

    3. Remove grease cap from hub.

    4. Remove and discard hub retaining nut (36 mm). This is a compound nut, comprised of several nuts inside a metal cage. Use a 36 mm axle nut socket (e.g. OEM 25206). Many auto parts stores will lend you this socket. A 1/2-inch drive air impact wrench or breaker bar is necessary to remove the nut.

    5. Remove wheel bearing/hub assembly from spindle.

    6. Install new Rear Wheel Bearing/Hub Assembly. Tighten new axle spindle nut 221 lb.-ft. replace grease cap, and button everything up.


    The procedure above is similar to that used on many FWD vehicles. Obviously, sizes and torque specs will differ and some nuts may require "staking" or cotter pin replacement.
