Default Rear wheel bearing
Driver's side rear wheel bearing went bad on my Jetta. Do I need any special tools for this job? Any other advice?

center bolt spec is 133 ft lb + 1/2 turn (180o). That's pretty high so suggest loosening and tightening with some weight on the ground to counterhold it. If you loosen any suspension pieces, tighten them with car's weight on the ground or else they will be preloaded and fail early.
There's no step by step pictorial so if you want to document this it'll be much appreciated and qualify for the writeup contest
