Help replacing rear wheel bearing in NH

Hey everyone I'm looking for someone who could point me the right direction in replacing my right rear bearing. I dont know yet if its that or something else. I jacked up the car the other day and there was plenty of play. Is there a shop that can do it without taking my wallet? I can do it myself but the tools needed costs around $400..Whats a good estimate.

there was a thread that had the $20 home depot part list instead of the real tool.

Arnnworx has a bearing tool for $105 that's a bit more sturdy than the home depot version:

I bought the Arnnworx tool in order to do my rear bearings over the Winter ... with the cost of the tool and both L&R side bearings,you're looking at roughly $250.00,which is probably less than what a shop would charge you to do just one side !

Just sayin ...

Cheers !

I purchased the Arnnworx tool a couple of weeks ago. My plan was to purchase this tool and then sell it when I'm done. I figure that the money I lose in the process would be about equal to buying the parts for the DIY tool, plus you have a known good tool that you don't have to shop around for parts to assemble.

So far I have only pressed out the old bearings, but it was a quick and easy task with the Arrnworx tool. It may be another week or two before I get the new ones pressed in, so it may be too late for your needs.
