Easy on the neon, holy crap nothing holds the hub bearing on but the axle nut. On my awd vue I had to pry the drum cap off and I had to unscrew 4 nuts that hold the hub bearing on and there is no room to get back there.
Wow. That has to be the easiest bearing-swap I have EVER SEEN! I tried this on an old '93 Subaru that I had... Took several hours for the whole job. This looks like a 45 minute job.
@joshgrami Yes it did not take to long to change the bearing but it in no way makes up for all the other time consuming repairs you have to do on this car.

Hey Richpin,
can you show the old bearing - what it looks like/inside when its fubar?
Also what are you looking for when you inspect for a bad bearing (if you can inspect without taking off the 30mm nut)
thanks

@logyscott You could hear a noise in the car going down the road which was a unmistakable bad wheel bearing noise.

Could it have been possible to remove that bearing cover first before taking off the drum?
