If you have never done a old school solid axle rear wheel bearing, I would take it to a shop you trust. It requires not only removing the rear brake, but removing the axles
Here is a video on how to remove the C-Clips & Axles
And here is the wheel bearing removal.
It can be done, but it is a messy job, and helps to have a slide hammer and the proper seal and bearing install tools.
If you do not have access to the tools and have to purchase them, it ends up just being easier and more cost effective to have it done. You also need a safe place to do it, and some where they won't call the EPA if you spill some of the used 89/90 gear oil.
