need your help on this one ! is replacing a rear wheel bearing a diy job ? i have no access to a garage so its a roadside repair job! i'm fairly competent with a set of sockets. cant find any details on rave, if its not a diy jobby how much is it likely to cost in a local indy garage? cheers for your input on this :confused:
 
Not sure about the rears, but I believe the rears have cartridge bearings that are pressed in. This is a DIY job if you have access to a 50 tonne press. Again not sure but I am sure you can buy the whole hub for a little more than the cost of the bearings alone. Dont take this as gospel though as I am working from memory of a job I almost did for a friend 2 yrs ago.

Update - just found this on another site Hub and Wheel Bearing Replacement (Range Rover 4.0/4.6/P38)
 
I am assuming you have a P38 ?????? if you have a classic its half an hour tops, and it is obligatory to do it at the side of the road.
 
so its worth getting them, and buying some guy a few beers from an engineering place and getting them pressed in then, rather than pay £300+ (that's what i saw in ebay)
 
It would be my choice if you have a local chap with the gear. But I am sure somewhere I have seen an advert for re-conditioned units with new bearing fitted in old hubs. But unfortunatly I cant remember where or who.
