out of curiosity how long does it take for a Subaru mechanic to replace a rear wheel bearing on a 2006 hawkeye sti? I will be getting it done soon

Just a bolt in hub mate, 30 mins approx. should see the wheel off, caliper off, handbrake shoes slackened off & disc taken off, hub nut off and the 4 bolts holding the assembly in taken out. and resassembled

No its a pressed in bearing on earlier cars

Its a pressed in bearing on a classic much more labour intensive about 3hours

approx 30 mins on a hawk onwards as long as the brembo bolts come out and the drive shaft pushes out of course.

when you fit a few its very quick and painless. just the hub costs a fortune

really is a quick process
