The BMW 6 Series builds on BMW's sporty heritage with aggressive lines and an incredible motor to back the design up. Available in coupe and convertible trims with a standard 4.8 liter engine producing 360 horsepower and 360 lb-ft of torque, the 6-series is a popular choice that exceeds expectations. |

645 Rear Wheel Bearing
Hi,
Anyone replaced the rear wheel bearing on a 6? If so is it a tricky job - any special tools needed or should I just let a garage do it? Cheers

Check the link below for the instructions. I would think it would be fairly easy! This is the online BMW repair manual!

You need a special tool to pull the drive flange. I would not try this myself.
Drive Flange removal instructions. Wheel bearing instructions. After removing the drive flange you need to pull the bearing. From the mechanics I've talked to this can either be easy (the bearing drops out) or hard (bearing need to be pressed out and will be destroyed during the procedure).
