I have been experiencing a low hum coming from the rear passenger side lately. The issue has gotten worse after a few instances of spirited driving. I've been putting most of my effort into prepping for an r154 swap but the hum is getting too loud to ignore.
I am thinking it is possibly the wheel bearing and/or the hub is bad. I bought a used knuckle assembly off of ebay to make my life easier as I can swap the bearing into this "new" knuckle then plug and play.
My main question would be, any easy way to do this? I am not seeing much in terms of Youtube academy apart from dissembling the entire knuckle, e brake assembly etc.
Can I slide hammer the hub off? Id rather not damage the shields if I can help it.

Almost everything on the rear suspension bolts to the knuckle (technically called carrier assembly) there is no easy way to swap it. If you're going to slide hammer the hub out then you'll be replacing the bearing you won't need your replacement hub.
