Default How do you change rear axle bearings?

A friend thinks there's a bit of slop in my rear axle and thinks it's the bearings. I can get them at the dealership for $33 each. Is this all I need? How do you replace them?

they are all pressed on exept the front pinion bearing. there is many ways you can do this, the best way is to use a bearing spreader and bench press. the other ways you can do it is with an air hammer (very anoying) or a torch. honestly, if you dont have a bearing that is bad, i would not reqamend changing them just for the hell of it. there cheap but a pain in the ***.
