After we got back from One Lap this year the rear wheel bearings in the VR4 failed hard. The drivers side rear bearing was so bad it made the car wiggle on the expressway. Turns out after inspection that the bearing spun on the stub shaft. So while I was reaplacing the stub shafts and bearings I used my cell phone to take some pictures and I put together a little how-to procedure on our website which is why I didn't put this post in the how-to section. There are a lot of different ways to skin this cat but I use a really old school method that does not need a press or jaw-style puller. You can read all about it in the link below.

This is petty much the same steps i took when I had to replace my rear axle seals on my Titan. I had to destroy a both wheel bearings to get to the seals.
