I know the fronts are pressed into the hubs, and half (or more) of the front suspension needs to be removed to get the hubs out of the car and on to a hydraulic press. This has always sounded like a good job to do in conjunction with a front strut replacement.
The rears come installed in new rear spindles at ~$110 each. Four bolts hold each spindle to the rear suspension. It looks like it might be relatively easy, but after my recent fiasco with rear shocks I am a little gun shy. I discovered I was an air compressor and impact wrench short of having the right tools for that job.
I have seen postings from other owners who have had front bearings replaced, but can't remember ever seeing a posting regarding the rears. The sound sure seems to be originating from the right rear.
