i was told my rear bearing is out.
are there any links for diagrams(do-it-yourself), for me to look at. i was told it will cost bout $160 for a shop to do it.
i think that is for both, i hope.
napa has them for $33 each.
i was also told they were pressed, which meant i had to send the axle to a shop for $10 each.
any info would help, i'm on day 3 of knocking and told it was 1/2" to 3/4" out.
 
There is a big article right on the SCCoA site in the Literature section:

The bearings are pressed in and run about $30 each.

wheel bearings?a little

Wheather you do them or the shop does them, make sure you use new axle nuts because ours are a 2 piece design and will not hold the proper 250 lb.ft. of torque a second time. On most cars, you can reuse the axle nuts but they are generally designed differently like 1 piece and held by cotter pin or a crimp. Unless you tell them differently, they will reuse the old ones. good luck
