Rear Wheel Bearing Replacement on FWD - DIY?

[Monzta]

How do-able is it to replace the rear wheel bearings on a FWD A4? I've watched a few YouTube vids and it looks straightforward enough but I only have standard tools, socket set, breaker bar etc. I don't have an impact wrench, hub pullers etc.

Has anyone done it and did you need any special tools? Or is it a job best left to my local garage?

Give it to a garage, even if you get it out, its a bitch to push back in! And there hard enough to get out.

Cheers for that. They always make it look so ****** easy on YouTube. By the time I've bought an impact wrench and a set of hub pullers I may as well just pay my local garage to do it.

@stevey83 , just to confirm, it's the rear wheel bearings on the FWD model you're talking about and not the Quattro ones? I know they're a bit of a ball-ache on the Quatrro.

Hi, yeah just generally on any car!

OK thanks. Garage it is.
