Rear wheel bearing on an AWD - instructions? V70-XC70 1998

Hi,

My new-to-me 1998 V70R AWD seems to need a rear wheel bearing. The brake disk gets really hot after only 2 miles of driving (the other three are cool), there is some rumbling noise, and it does not appear to be brake related.

The online parts outfits seem to sell just the bearing for the AWD (not the hub/bearing assembly, like they do for the front).

I have not found instructions online for this job. I wonder if getting the old bearing out of the hub, and putting the new one in, will require special tools? Basically, I wonder if this is something I should attempt myself or better have a shop do it...

Any hints, advice, would be great.

Cheers.
