Mike,

I replaced the bearings on the four corners of my CS about one year ago and by thinking about it, just got a back pain.. LOL

Since you are removing the driveshafts, you would be able to replace the bearings in site (without removing the hub), I also purchased a fairly complete bearing removing kit from HF for about $100 and it was pretty straight forward job.

However, I learned the hard way that the bearings have a magnetic strip on one side only (underneath the seal), this triggers the ABS sensor, remember to install the magnetic side towards the transmission.

Good luck!
