OT Help!

A friend has a 2000 Jeep Cherokee that's got a rear wheel bearing on the way
out (the old "woo-woo-woo-woo-woo" noise coming from the back left corner).
I've told him 'til I'm blue that he should flog it and get a Landrover but
he says his missus likes it. So that's that I s'pose! Anyway, does anyone
here know how simple (or not) it is to change a rear wheel bearing on a Jeep
(and if so, how)? I can't find anything online anywhere and it seems that
parts suppliers - or at least the ones I've found so far - only list front
hub units with bearings to the tune of £170 (which presumably means bearing
factory pre-fitted into hub). This apparent lack of parts listings for rear
axle wheel bearings doesn't bode well, but does anyone know?

Any input much appreciated.

You couild have a squint at your yellow pages for a local Bearing Services
branch they are very helpful and will probably point you in the right
direction if they cannot supply the bearings or better still

who seem to keep the bearings in stock ( £15.95 ea)

Excellent, thanks Derek. Now just for an exploded diagram or "it comes
apart/goes together like this" or something and I'm on a roll. Anyone else
help?
