IRS rear wheel bearings

["Gregory M. Merritt" <gregm@engin.umich.edu>]

Hi all,

	one of the right rear wheel bearings on my squareback seems to be 
shot--when I spin the hub around (wheel & drum removed) it makes a 
terrible scraping sound and would even kind of bind in places (ack!).  I 
got a set of inner & outer bearings & seals, and I'll be replacing them 
in a couple of days.  Does anybody have any suggestions?  I've never done 
rear bearings before.  I do have Bentley & Haynes, naturally; doesn't 
look too bad.

	Also, the squareback has a bit of rear-end sag; looks like having 
things apart enough to do the bearings would be a good time to jack the 
rear end back up?  Or should I just save it for another day?

Thanks,
-Greg
