Guys/Gals,
Just wanted some info on how to replace the wheel bearings on the rear of my iS?? Not done this before, so a little unsure, what the best way/method to do it.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Have a look at the article on http://www.bmwe30.net/ - Articles and tips section - Suspension and steering - Replacing a rear wheel bearing. At steps 3 and 4 you can use a slide hammer instead, to remove drive flange and then what is left of the bearing, but this does leave part of the inner race on the drive flang that has to be removed with a puller.

I'd seriously consider just paying a garage to do this job for the world of grief it will give you.
I'll attempt most jobs (including removing and rebuilding engines) on my car but this one I left to the garage.
