Kinda already said but to be clear...the width of the bearing is wider on wagons...point is to make sure you get the correct wagon bearing before pulling it apart and then finding out you have a sedan bearing.

Put a cable or large tie wrap through the bearing as a safety so it captures the large snap-ring it cases it launches loose during removal.

The job seems intimidating but is not that bad unless the car is rusty.

Put the new bearing in the freezer a couple of days before to shrink it, polish and lube the bore/hub it goes into and you should be fine. Nicer than a 123 wagon, no preloads or adjustments to make.

Good time to do rear brakes if needed.

Have thread locker on hand for reassembly.

Good luck!!!
