After 250K miles it looks like the rear wheel bearings need replacment.   I�ve done the front successfully in the past but the rears look a bit more complicated.  I�ve contacted a few shops and the time estimates (including removing the inevitably rusty stripped bolts) are quite high for this job.  I was thinking of maybe tackling this myself. I�ve checked out a few videos and some have the axle coming out and other have the wheel bearings, etc. removed from the back and other vidoes showing the bearing housing  being removed from the front after moving the backing plate.  So the question is, which method is better and are either of them doable by an amateur (me) that VW turned into a part time mechanic 40 years ago?

Thanks
