I was wondering how I can save on labor costs regarding a rear wheel bearing replacement on my 85 300TD. By the looks of what Ive read, it can be a tricky job that you cant just do on your front driveway with a ratchet set.

Im wondering if Theres a way to take the rear axles or simply a certain part of the rear wheel assembly that would not be so complicated to take off to a mechanic and they do the rest.

Any ideas?

What have some of you paid or what do you think a reasonable charge for a rear wheel bearing replacement would be.
