  Its actually quite simple, about an hour labor, jack up vehicle (properly support) remove wheel and brake drum, disconnect anti lock brake sensor, remove all 4 bolts holding bearing assemble to rear axle assembly, and remove bearing housing assemble. An aftermarket company called Moog or Napa may have the bearing a lot cheaper than the dealer bearing/hub assembly.
