My right rear wheel bearings are worn out. I was looking for some help on how to replace them. A local shop priced me at like 1 grand, so I'm doing myself. Has anyone here done them and have a how to, to do this. Also what is the best replacement parts to buy. Thanks all.

Its not an easy job you will need a press to remove and install the bearing. There is also a ring that's pressed on after the bearing that toyota says to replace and not reuse.
For anyone who needs help on this in the future. I was able to get a haynes manual and I purchased the hub/bearing assembly on my own. Remember to buy the retaining lock that goes on after $30 at the dealer. Taking apart the drum brakes and getting the axle out was pretty simple. The difficult part was finding a shop to do the press work. 1 backed out on me after having the axle for 4 hours. I then got a machine shop to do the work for $95. This was defiantly worth doing myself. I saved about $700-$800.

On average the dealer charges 3 hours per side at labor rate of $120 hr at least. Plus parts would come to around most $800. So if they were telling $100 that's robbery.
