Hi again.. rear wheel bearing rumbles. Easy to replace?

[AlleyNiki]

Hi guys,

Thanks for the help in the past.   

Lately there's been a lot of noise coming from the rear right wheel. It's bearing noise, that's for sure (i jacked up that wheel, disconnected the drive shaft and spun it) (it's an aircooled 1989 126)

Is changing the rear bearings an easy task, or best left to a garage? (Special equipment needed?)

Thanks guys, hope to hear from you soon

Only real issue is getting the nut off , best to buy new ones first before you start and get the existing ones cut off without damaging the thread.
After that its quite simple.

There might be more threads on this topic, service manual helps as well with its diagrams.

Thanks guys, 
 and I read the thread you posted up, it seems that you need to buy more than bearings? This would be all included in the bearing kit by 126fan, wouldn't it?

The front bearing kits i bought had both bearings and bearing cups, nut and seal. It should have included a washer, wire spacer and grease cap as well since that's what the full kit should include. Best to ask but i'm sure a bearing kit will have the bearings and cups, a nut and a seal (minimum!)
