Default mk1 focus wheel bearings

hi people, for a while now ive been driving my car and its been making sort of a whirling noise from the back and the faster i go the louder it gets, i think it might be the wheel bearings but im not to sure, does this sound like the case and how hard/how much is it to do it myself? cheers peeps

wheel bearings are in the region of £20, you need a press to fit the new bearing into the hub/drum.

A garage would prod do the whole job in the region of £50

got mine off ebay for £25 for both sides and fitted them myself.as said a press is needed to get them out of the drum.when putting the new ones back in the shamferd edge goes in first and make sure there flat and use the old bearing on top of the new one when you push new ones in.its about a 30 min job
