Rear wheel bearing *updated with pics* 3/23/10
So i finally had one go after 340k miles and that was by far the easiest wheel bearing i have ever changed. It wold have taken 10 min tops start to finish if it werent for a stupid 2 dollar spring. The inner race was frozen to the spindle, so i had to take the parking brake brake shoes off to get to it. In the process of taking them off 1 spring broke and of course no one in a 100 mile radius had the spring i needed. Once off a simple chisel behind it and a whack from the hammer and it freed it self right up and the new one was able to go on. Ill try to get pics later.

Just place it to the back and drive it in. It will pop the bearing race out so you can slide it off.

yea, i think your right, front is 36, and rear is 32. i think the front is tighten on at 180 f/tq, rear is 140 ish f/tq ?? my wheel bearing is fine, they seem to have a pretty good life span compared to some other vehicles. 340+k miles is a lot.
