I did both of the front hubs. That was a pain but from everything Ive read about the rears, I REALLY dont want to do them.
Its getting louder every day.
I'm just gonna sell it.

So, What is your point, Grandma? All things mechanical fail eventually. I replaced rear hubs/bearings on my 2004, uneventfully. Why are you telling us this, in such a way? We are all here to find out, and LEARN how to work on this ****. imp

Replacing the bearing sucks but I've done it enough times I know what I'm doing. I can't see the video on my phone. You'd send me the whole piece that the bearing is in, I'd send you one back.
It is a pain. I do everything myself, and even I farmed this one out to a local shop. They had to send the knuckles off to another shop to press the old bearings out...they were on the verge of breaking their press. My vehicle has minimal rust and corrosion, too. Shop around, it can probably be done for $500 or less.
I'm like Josh I have a shop and do all my own work. I do not have a press though, so I take the knuckles and parts to a local garage. It nearly broke their press as well, two men on it and for safety concerns they ended up evacuating two bays once it was loaded up. Everyone went to the break room for coffee and then it went off like a gunshot. Scared them all. I hate even taking them down there but they always do it. YMMV
Sorry to hear that. I did the rear bearings using Chinese-made "crap" 50,000 miles ago, no problems. Fronts I expect next. A bearing growls a bit on long curves to the left, indicating left front has some pitting. If these bearing sets are properly installed, not hammered by some moron with a big banger, they should last quite awhile, IMO. Sorry if I came on so strong. imp
