Guys help how hard to replace rear wheel bearing

How much it worth for 1 bearing or there is two?
Can i do it myself what tools do i need.
I think it's a bearing because when car is moving i hear knocking sound coming from rear right side so today i checked it and when i woble it it seems like there is a little space and a wheel knocking a little.
What do you think, am i able to do it myself.(a little inf. about myself replaced alternator, oil changes, antifreeze filters spark plugs coils)lol
What do you think guys autoshop or myself.

Sounds like the wheel bearing alright! If the noise is there especially when you turn it is definitely the wheel bearing. What happens is that when you turn left or right, the weight of the vehicle shifts to the opposite side. The wheel bearing on that side sustains that weight and if it is bad it will make that sound you keep hearing. Wheel play is also a symptom of bad bearings. Replacing the bearings is a PITA. Removal of the wheel hub shouldn't be that difficult. What most do is they take the wheel hub to a shop to have them remove the old bearings and press on a new one.

You need to take the caliper of to the side and rotor. Than I think you need a 32MM socket and a rachet with a pipe over it to help you loosen it. I have the same problem it is the bearing. But you have to replace the Hub. Its all one piece.

allright i went to a pick it yourself yard and bought the bearing for 12 dollars it's the bearing and the hub as a unit it costs 90 dollars at an auto parts store the bearing is like 30 dollars alone. i bought the bearing and was going to go the same route you went and i bought 2 different bearings and they were the wrong size so make sure you bring the hub in to match it up first. putting it on is easy take off the wheel brake caliper dust cap for center axel nut. take the bolt off and thats it make sure you torque it to specs the specs are in the haynes if you didn't know
