Default Rear wheel bearing change 1992 XJS

Hi all.

I'm loving this warmer weather so we can get out with the top down. While on a club drive this morning, I noticed a noise from (I think) the passenger side toward the rear of the car. It sounded like a rear wheel bearing was making the noise.

Does anyone on the site have experience of changing a rear wheel bearing on a 92 XJS convertible? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Stephen

Before you go ahead find someone that will give you a collection of shims so you can get the right one (once you're finished return the unused ones), as the end float is set with shims and with new bearings you might need different thickness, I know I did on both sides
