How to fit rear wheel bearing?

Does anyone know how to fit rear wheel bearings on mk 4 astra? I think they just come as a hub rather than bearings and seem quite dear, so to save on labour is a must,
thanks

HI,I bought 4 hubs on EBAY ,rears £52 each,fronts £38 each.no probs.Don`t get them pressed out as bearing face on housing would of been cooked and blue in colour.

Normally these are supplied complete with hub, at around £80 I think...I guess the bearings could be fitted separately but you'll need to visit a garage to have the bearings pressed out, and the new ones, which you'll have to get, pressed back in. Fancy a scrap yard trip?
