Default Rear wheel bearing.

So my car sounds like a semi-truck at about 40mph and above sounds like the RR wheel bearing. It looks like I can only buy the thing as a press in hub assembly. Has anyone replaced theirs and knows any special tools I may need?

Just rechecked them today. BOTH bearings in the back are noisy and the right one is loose. That needs to be taken care of next weekend.

The rear hubs are press fit. When you buy them at the store they will come hub and bearing combined.
