I can't recall the exact process for removal of the wheel bearing. I did several on the front and I doubt the rear is much different. As I remember it, it was pretty simple and I did not need a slide hammer. I believe it is simply the removal of the nut, the removal of several studs from the backside and it slips right off. Don't forget to disconnect the ABS/traction system wiring connector on the backside. If you buy the part from the dealer it ran about $150, but after-market was $70. Replaced two on daughter's Aztec, one on mine. All-in-all not a bad job. It seems many people have had to replace one or more, but GM won't pay if you do it yourself.
