Approx 1 to 1.5 hours labour plus part......depending on the quality of the bearing.

Is it worth getting them both done at the same time?

How difficult is it to replace rear wheel bearing on a freelander? The big drive shaft nut needs 295 ft/lb, how do I achieve this as my torque wrench only goes up to 150? do I need to buy another one? Also the nut should be replaced according to Haynes manual. Is this really necessary?

Nuts are only a few £ and I used the cars weight to undo the nut with the help from a bottle jack
Just done it up as hard as I could been ok for a year now

just stand on the bar have it set at 150 and just ignore the clicks then should be ok but it is according to how much you weigh
