Rear wheel bearing replacement

I'm starting to get some groaning out of the rear wheel bearings. When I did my brakes a few months back, I was looking at the whole hub/bearing, and they didn't look too hard to replace. Is it really as easy as it looks?

well, I tried removing them with the knuckles in a vise... I rounded off one bolt per side in the process, and the hubs were so rusted stuck to the knuckles that I ended up destroying a perfectly good original bearing in the process :rolleyes: so needless to say I didn't continue trying with the other side..

 

soak the bolts and all around the hub/knuckle with PB blaster for a few days, loosen it all up really well before attempting it.
