Yes, the wheel bearings on both my Monte Carlo and Durango are all one
sealed unit.  The main difference being that the Monte Carlo front and rear
bearings have speed sensors in them for the ABS system.  Often, they are
the reason why you end up having to replace the entire bearing.  It will
cause the ABS light to come on if they are faulty.  I have a ABS scanner
that can tell me while speed sensor is bad.  Otherwise, it is a guessing
game.

My most recent repair was replacing the tires on the Harley.  A friend of
mine brought over his bike jack and showed me how to remove the wheels -
which included having to remove the muffler.

I got had ordered new tires, got them mounted and balanced at the local
Harley shop and then last week, but the new ones back on the bike.  Not a
super easy task, espcially when working alone on the rear tire.
