Default Rear wheel bearings

Are the rear wheels bearings a pressed in fit or are easy enough to slide on and off? I've got a noisy one and am going to change them both, however if they are going to need the attention of a proper mechanic i will wait until they give up the ghost. I had a look in my service manual/cd nut it does show a clear enough picture/method.

Cheers
Andy.

Press in. Had mine changed not long ago, turned out to be a real pig to do with seized suspension parts and all. It need new rear arms as the old ones had to be cut off, plus a five hour labour bill. On top of all that, I had to get the alignment set up again as the new suspension arms put it all out !! Was not a happy bunny !

Press in and a right pig of a job if everything is seized. The last one I did sounds just like Hakons. lol
