How easy is it to replace rear wheel bearings and seals in a 2006 odyssey?

Maybe Tires or wheel bearings.

replacing bearing involves removing axle your not replacing a hub but tearing apart axle 99 04 F250 Sterling Rear axle bearing replacement Pt 2 2006 Ford F250 rear hub axle seal replacement F250 Rear Brakes Axle Hub Removal Install 03 07 Powerstroke

pull wheel remove grease cap undo carter key remove nut pull off rest of hub take bearings frt and rear out of hub clean old grease from bearings check bearing for defect install in revers order remender to install new grease in new bearings lots of grease and u will need new seals for same front and rear

'84 ...*lotsa* miles on it ....like 450K plus if you drive the "normal" 15K/year. First, and most likely, thing that comes to mind is the wheel bearing has seized. Since this is a front wheel drive car, there are sealed roller bearings for the rear wheel hubs. At 450K on the odometer there are *lots* of components that have reached or exceeded their normal service life. I would suspect the left rear sealed wheel bearing is one of them ...followed closely by the right rear wheel bearing. If it's the bearing? Get them both done.

There is a little difference between the front and rear. The days of packing wheel bearing is almost over. The front bearing you have to pull the hub and change to bearing. The rear wheel you have to change out the hub bearing and all. The front is a sealed bearing and not serviceable. Please rate my answer so I am rewarded points for it.

Brakes or wheel bearing needs replaced.

A Front Wheel Drive Vehicle Can Have Two Types Of Rear Wheel Bearings: Serviceable Bearings, Or Nonserviceable, Sealed Bearings. When Sealed Bearings Fail, The Bolts Holding The Bearing And Hub To The Axel Or Control Arm Must Be Removed. When Installing The New Bearing Assembly, Torque The Bolts To Specifications.Some Manufacturers require The Use Of New Fasteners When Rear Bearings And Hubs Are Replaced.

When A Serviceable Wheel Bearing Is Used, The Bearing Can Be Disassembled And Packed With Grease.It Is Serviced Like A Front Wheel Bearing On A Rear-wheel-Drive-Car.

Yes it is as easy as it looks. If you had the tire off and figured out that it looks easy, you shouldn't have much problem.

Seal Removal

1. Remove the axle shaft (4334). For additional information, refer to Axle Shaft in this section.

1. CAUTION: Never remove the wheel bearing oil seal (1177) by itself. Always remove the rear wheel bearing (1225) and the inner wheel bearing oil seal at the same time.

   Using the special tools, remove the rear wheel bearing and wheel bearing oil seal together.

Installation

1. Lubricate the new rear wheel bearing.
   • For 4.0L SOHC and 4.0L EI with limited slip rear axles and 5.0L vehicles, use SAE 75W-140 High Performance Rear Axle Lubricant F1TZ-19580-B or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSL-M2C192-A.
   • For 4.0L SOHC and 4.0L EI with conventional rear axles, use SAE 80W-90 Premium Rear Axle Lubricant XY-80W90-QL or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSP-M2C197-A.
