2010 AWD rear hubs

[ribompa]

Just replaced both at 103000 miles with OEM and they were EXPENSIVE. For future reference: could I have bought just the bearings and had a machine shop press out the old bearings and press in the new ones, or is there something about ABS hubs that would prevent this? Yhanks. Bomp

The rear hubs on AWD Vibes have to be replaced as a unit. They don't sell the bearings, like they do for the front hubs.

Yes they only offer them as a hub unit. Depending on stock, it is likely the hub unit and the bearings would be listed for a similar price (looking at the cost diff for the front, plus labor)

Did you do it yourself? Have any tips. I've got replacement hubs and I'm looking to tackle this next...
