Default rear wheel bearing

I own a 2001 accord ex v6 4dr 4disc brks. I have the tell tale hum or buzz you get from a bad wheel bearing in the rear. The replacement part is rather cheap . Does anyone now how difficult the job is?I would much rather do it myself, as long as special tools and 10hrs of labor aren't involved.

I believe that the bearing has to be pressed. It wouldnt take long to remove and have someone press a new bearing in. I had my mechanic put a new rear bearing in my car. It cost about 150 parts and labor. Hope this helps. Thanks.

Very easy job, the replacement bearing comes as an assembly, Remove the brake caliper, remove the rotor, pop off the center cap, remove the 32mm spindle nut.
So jack, jack stand, 32mm impact socket, Good 1/2" breaker bar,hand impact driver with #2 phillips bit, [for removing rotor] 12mm&14mm wrenches and sockets.
