I have a 1998 Forester which needs the passenger rear wheel bearing replaced.
So..
1. Is it recommended to do both bearings (driver side and passenger side) at the same time?
2. I'm looking at buying a new hub as well as the bearing/seals. Last time I did a wheel bearing (daughters Toyota 4Runner), I was able to take the hub out and work on it on my bench - driving the bearing out with drifts, and then putting it back using a bearing race driver (10 Piece Bearing Race and Seal Driver Set). Using the new hub, is a similar process possible?
Also, any videos out there that I can watch to see how it's done? Without taking the car apart, it's tricky to follow the written instructions.
I'm nervous that I may be getting into a job that I end up really stuck on (and I didn't think that when I did my head gaskets and timing belt!)
Thanks!
