The car has a defined hum and it appears as though it is coming from the passengers’ rear wheel.
I’ve been told. I need to change the wheel bearing.
I’m also told. I don’t need a press, nor do I have to replace hub. Your step by step on the rear brakes was awesome. And I am very grateful. Any advice I could get on the wheel bearing job would be great. Should I do inner and outer. Are there any tricks.
Thanks
Wayne

Yes, always replace both bearings. Remove the rotor/drum and pull the kotter pin, unscrew the reatining nut adn thrust washer, remove drum/rotor. Use a copper drift punch to remove the grease seal, bearings and to drive the races out of the drum/rotor. You should always use race installers to replace the races so as not to damage them. Outer first then inner. PAck the wheel bearings and install the inner and carefully tap the grease seal into place. Install washer then the nut, and new kotter pin
