If so, how difficult was it and do I need the special tools?

I have replaced several, if I can any one can .I do have a 60 ton press .

 

Like GARCO MOTORWORKS says, it's pretty simple and straight forward. The hardest part probably is getting the hub off of the car. You'll need a press, but don't have to use the mazda SSTs. The die from a generic set will work fine.

 

the hardest part is getting the hub apart like everyone says. . . but the great thing about that is the fact that YOU arent the one prying on it. just the tools do that job. haha

 

I have 2 brand new rear wheel bearings sitting in my garage. I bought them and then changed rims and the noise stopped (maybe offset?). Anyway I will beat even malloy's price if you want one or 2...

Bring it on ray...
