Chevrolet: Rear wheel bearing replacement, rear wheel bearings, wheel drive cars


Question
Just wondering if you have any idea on replacing rear wheel bearings on a 2002 chev. cavalier. I know this is out of the specifications, but thought I would ask. I have done the front, but the rear is new to me. Are they harder to replace and will I need any additional tools? Any help would be appreciated!

    As  long as it is not rear wheel drive , than it should not be that hard , as with rear wheel drive cars you must pull the axles out and it takes some time and a bit of work to do so.You would need a axle puller to remove them and remove the rear end plate to get at the clip that holdes the axles into place . , so it takes some time to do it, you should go to the library and look in the taxt books as they should have all the data you would need step by step than you can xrox it. ok it is not a hard job but a long one.
