My rear wheel bearings are done for...making a loud humming noise like a train..lol, also the seals are leaking a bit. Can someone please post up a link that has exactly what is needed to replace the bearings and seals.
Thanks,

bearings cand be taken off with a hammer and chisel between the collar and bearing by working around the axle it take a while but it possible to install the seal and bearin you need a pc of pipe that slides over the axle and rest on the collar , place the rim and tire down and inset axle into stud hole just like it was mounted and tap the pipe with hammer untill the collar seats

or go to autozone and/or advanced auto and rent a slide hammer and axle bearing remover...remove axle shafts pull out seals and bearings press in new bearings with bearing driver kit ( i believe also at autozone) and press in new seals...easy as cake
