So, the rear left wheel started making a squealing noises on my way to work today. I touched it when I got to work, and the whole wheel was really hot. Was wondering if the bearing is bad? The pads have been replaced like 6 months ago so it should not be brake related. Was wondering how hard it is to replace the bearing in the rear? What tools involved? What to get from the dealer? Also should I have the car towed back or can I drive it? (40mi) Thank guys!

p.s Will a 5th gen bearing in the back be the same as a 4th gen?
