Rear Wheel Bearings....DIY job? - 3/27/2008 10:29:13 AM

Howdy, I've got a 1995 Chevy K1500 Z-71, 167K mi, and I've got the typical speed dependent roaring noise from the back wheels, so am going to replace the rear wheel bearings.

I'm confident about pulling the axles without a problem (and have the Haynes manual), but am thinking that I may not have the tools necessary to get the bearings off the axle (or new ones on). Is a press HIGHLY recommended, or can I do it with hand tools?

I realize I may have to buy a wrench to get the axle off the vehicle, but I'd like to save the $225 quoted for labor if possible.

Thanks for your advice/experience!
