The hub bearing on the rear of these vehicles is unfortunately not a bolt on hub assembly. This is a job that a do-it-yourself-er can do, however this repair requires the actual bearing and outer hub to be pressed in/out. This best way to go about this repair is to have a machine shop do the actual press work. You can do all of the other labor yourself and save several hundred dollars over what a shop would charge. A quick preface to these instructions is that you can remove the brakes and the entire hub and knuckle assembly yourself and then take the hub and knuckle assembly to a suitable machine shop with a new bearing kit in hand and have them do the pressing. Many machine shops have most likely performed this job several times in the past as these bearings are extremely common to fail. You should probably pop open the phone book and call for a quote from several machine shops to make sure they can do it and also they will probably want you to drop it off with them and then pick it up later when they are done. 

Without load there is 0 free play and no humming/resistance/heat in the hub after a long journey but i'm assuming it is the wheel bearing as can't see what else it could be... it's definitely not a wheel or tyre)...so do these symptoms mean it's just a simple adjustment or a full wheel bearing needed...just so i go in clued up!...also what is the rough labour and cost of parts of a new wheel bearing and adjustment.

Now that the hub is pressed and seated install the rear seal in the back of the knuckle, making sure the dome is faced inward to match the profile of the CV shaft. With everything reassembled you can now return the knuckle back to the car. You may notice the new bearing has play still at this point. The axle is what sets the bearing pre-load on thesebearings. So, once it is back together, the play will be gone.
