I've done both front and rear wheel bearings on my car... and last time I got both my rears replaced I had Sears do it.
Why? Well, although it's doable it's not easy. Also, you'll tend to find (as I did) that some of the bolts under there haven't been released since the car was built. As a result, removing some of the bolts can be troublesome to the point of almost impossible. Air tools are recommended, and even with the Hub Tamer kit (which I have) it's still very time consuming.
For less than $300 per axle, it was easier to just get Sears to do it... that way if they get stuck they've got tools that can release bolts and stuff. But make sure the tech working on your car knows about the packing grease / synthetic grease issues (search the archives)
Hope that helps!
