I have a metallic noise coming from the right rear that is wholly speed dependent - it doesn't matter if I'm hitting the brakes or not. It sounds like other bad wheel bearings I've experienced. Does anybody have a DIY on rear wheel bearing replacement? Looking at parts drawings it looks like a standard press-in cartridge bearing. I have the tools to press them in and out on the car but I have a question. The drawings show a circlip holding the bearing in from the outside. Does this eliminatet the need to remove the driveshaft? In other words can the bearing be slid out and back in just by removing the clip and leaving the driveshaft in place? Every other car I've done with this type of bearing required half shaft removal so you could get the bearing press tool in place. If I have to remove the 1/2 shaft how is that done?
