Here is a detailed step by step description to do the rear wheel bearings: http://www.njnoordhoek.com/?p=905

The bearing had 130.000 km and the wear was only minor. I will also replace the other one and then conculde whether I was right to replace them, or that is was just the tires. First impression is that the noise is reduced. The removed bearing felt smooth in my hands, made some minor noise when spinning on the car. The new bearing was utterly silent when spinning it manually on the car.
