Rear wheel bearings are one job I'd pay someone to do.

I jacked up the car yesterday, and I couldn't find a thing wrong with it, I thought I was going to see atleast the hub setup as the front wheels, Im thinking I would have to remove the entire caliper and rotor??

I just found a mpeg video I had purchased when I first purchased the car on brakes, and it has a nice tutorial on rotors, pads, and repacking the front bearing(s), the guy switches over to the rear pads/rotors, and doesn't say how to repack them, just says "the rear ones are easier".....
