Hey fellas,
Need to change a rear bearing, noise is driving me crazy.
Anyone know where I can get a complete rear bearing assembly, the bearing and hub together?
I can only find front bearing complete assemblies....
Rear bearing complete assembly??

Not sure why you'd want to. The bearing is pressed into the trailing arm, then the hub slots into the bearing. So if you bought the bearing and hub, you'd have to disassemble them anyway to fit the bearing, no?

Replacing a rear wheel bearing is a whole lot easier with the trailing arm off the car.
But, once you've undone the axle nut, the hub just a press fit into the bearing and the bearing is just a press fit into the trailing arm. And all can be done with the minimum of tools: Spring clip pliers; a hammer; a small length of tubing the right diameter to pass through the hole in the trailing arm to bash out the old bearing itself; some threaded rod and strong metal washers or plates to act as pullers to insert the new one.
There are plenty of write ups on here to help you.
Go for it.
