How easy is it to replace the rear wheel bearings? Would I need specialist tools to change it out or just a simple job that I can do myself and how long would it take?

 

You need a press.

 

a 20 ton press

That's a huge gun that he has. That would probably work in place of a press too.

 

dont you just unbolt the the REAR wheel hub using a axle socket pull it off and replace? because i was told that tegs have sealed rear hub bearings

 

Sealed on the rear, ie a hub itself, front have to replace the bearing, ie press into hub.

Very easy so long as your driveshaft hasn't seized on to the bearing, otherwise you have to take the driveshaft out of the tranny,. some how balance it on the press with the knuckle and press it out, I know because it happened to me

Good luck, be careful though, I replaced my passenger front bearing and by three months it had gone again It was a Timken if it helps which is a reputable company however.

Edit--Just read for the rear, get a helms if your stuck, shouldn't though.

 

wait a second...the wheel bearing in the rear ...you have to replace the entire hub assembly...no? i thought you could not just "swap" a bearing.
