The rear bearings are in the brake drum hub. When you take off the brake drum, you have to remove the large nut, then a washer, and there is the outer bearing. When the drum is off, pop off the rear seal, and there is the inner bearing. Check the race for the bearing, make sure it is good. If so, then you can just replace the bearings and the rear seal. If the race does not look good, then this is a much harder job to do. If you do not have the tools and know how for this, I do suggest you take the drums to a garage, and have them change the race. This will save you a lot of frustration, believe me. Pack the drum with wheel bearing grease, with a new seal, and do not over load with the grease.
yes it can. We had this happen and the washer was junked as a result. It seems that the washer is built around the "spin bearing". This bearing sits in the middle of the washer shaft and is what the washer spins on. If it starts to wear out, it can leak grease from the bearing and stain clothes. Our repair man told us that for the cost of repair, we would be better off buying a new one.
The main drum bearing is gone-resulting in the drum drooping. If this is the case, the machine should likely make a heck of a racket when cycling.
After jacking the car up and removing the front tires, remove the wheel-bearing dust cap, remove cotter pin, then remove nut, turning it counter-clockwise, then remove the large washer. Now, tap the top of the brake drum with the palm of your hand, and the front bearing should pop out. Then slide the brake drum off. If the brake drum does not come off, you will have to turn the brake shoe adjuster inward. The brake shoe adjuster is located in the slot in the back near the bottom ball joint. Pull brake drum off.
I had to change the bearings in the wifes Focus. Release emergency brake with car securely on stands. Remove rear brake drum. The bearing is pressed in to the drum. If you do not have a press take the drum and new bearing to a shop. Do not attempt to hammer the new bearings in. You can very easily damage them. They are expensive.
Brake drum bent and shoes rubbing against it? Bad wheel bearing? You had the car sitting on the brake drum itself? If that's true Just replace the drum(s) it was sitting on it is possible they have bent out of shape. See if just the new drum will stop the noise if no replace the shoes aswell. Josh

Easy as pie, pull off the drum, take the 4 torx bolts out of the back of the bearing and pull it out without removing brake parts
It is the surface of the drum shell that actually touches the drum head. The area of this surface is less than that of a cross-section of the whole shell, since it is created by making an angled cut into the shell around the rim. The thickness or thinness of the bearing edge affects the tone of the drum; finer or sharper bearing edges yield a brighter tone, while thicker bearing edges yield a warmer tone. If the bearing edge is not perfectly level and perpendicular to the cylinder of the shell, the drum head will not seat properly and the tone of the drum will suffer.
