any tips for tackling the rear bearings?
I should be doing mines today with new discs and pads
Edit:
one side came off easy.
1). I loosen the handbrake cable to make it easier ( I have to remove adjust it later anyway.
2.) Jacked the car up
3.) Remove the 5x 17 mm wheel bolts
4.) Lowered the car on the jack stand
5.) Removed the handbrake cable from the calliper
6.) Remove the 13 mm m8 nuts that hold the caliper ( 13 mm socker and 15 mm spanner)
7.) Remove the m6 Calliper bolt
8.) Swing the brake disc to the side and remove it.
9.) Remove the wheel bearing cover using a chisel or flat point screew driver and hitting it from the sides with the hammer. going around and around.
10.) Unbolt the 30 mm 12 point nut
11.) In my case the bearing slid off complete, place you fingers behind the bearing when pulling it off so it doesn't separate the inner race.
Old bearings have side to side wiggle, new ones are rock solid 70 Nm +30 deg.

I did grease the hub studs.
I've painted the discs because I've learned my lesson with Ferodo brake discs, dont want them to look ugly.
