Hi,

is it the same front as back bearing?

This is all I found for the front. The link you have is for the rear. Unsure if front = rear.

The front is a complete hub and bearing together as 1 piece.

A hell of a lot less work.

I had to replace a rear bearing. That was a lot of work.

I've never replaced a rear bearing on a rear wheel car before. Or even a front bearing on a rear wheel car. But I have done front bearings on a front wheel drive car. It's a royal PITA if you don't have the proper tools. I did this a couple of times on an old Cavalier Z24. I had to take off the retaining nut securing the half shaft to the hub/bearing assembly and then separate the steering knuckle from the lower ball joint. If I didn't have air tools to do this, I don't think I would ever be able to do this with regular hand tools.

The front is easy, the rear is difficult.

You don't want to do a rear on our cars. Getting the rear knuckle off is a lot of work, parking brake is a bit of a PITA. My press was barely able to get everything apart.

Then the hub nut requires a ridiculous amount of torque.

For the front, take off brakes, four bolts out and it's off.
