      Rear wheel bearing HELP!!

      Ok so today i tore apart both rear drums and brakes and need to replace my rear wheel bearings. I Have a 2004 Aveo. I have called a couple parts store and Everyone is telling me it's a single bearing, but I'm looking at my bearings now and I don't understand how it can just be one. there is a tapered bearing that comes out of the brake drum and there is a seperate on that is pressed into the brake drum. My question is, is it just a single bearing that has broken, or is it 2 seperate bearings. please help.

      iirc, 2004 had a one year design that had a hub and drum in one piece. and the rest of the cars went with a separate hub and bearing with a drum that comes off.

      ^ Yes. There are two bearings pressed into the drum and held on the spindle by a 1 1/8" nut (might want to double check the nut size).

      I replaced them with a new drum and the car is very noticeably quieter.

      In 2004 they are a pressed in sealed bearing, pressed into the drum. Easiest way is to buy the drum, most come with the bearings in them. I think the cheapest I found locally was AutoZone (not that I like that company anymore, but thats another story).
