How difficult is it to change rear wheel bearings ?

Best place to buy them also ?

thanks in advance guys

There are always some on ebay for sale. No idea on difficulties in fitting, but would imagine a hydraulic press or bearing puller would be the minimum requirements for the job.

Been quoted £200 for bearing, 2 seals and a circlip from lexus. Local motor factor £50, think ill go for that !

Yeah, I think I would do the same.

well got the bearing, never seen a wheel bearing so wide, its about 2.5" wide that sound right ?

Yup, I think they are quite chunky.

It's a pretty heavy car, and being rear wheel drive there are stresses going through the back that aren't there on many other cars. So could well be right...

The rear wheel bearings on the 147 look like something a dc-5 should be landing on let alone a car. As long as you have a bearing puller you'll be fine but a can of spray nitrogen from a plumbing shop might make fitting them back on easier and make sure you get some ally drifts too no smacking them in with steel punches/screwdrivers etc
