Default wheel bearings

hello everyone,
stupid question time. Do the rear wheel bearing assemblies bolt to the
trailing arms and are they replaceable. What I would prefer is send out the
assembly, minus the trailing arm itself. I am ok with r&r the TA'sysrlf, just want nothing to do with rebuilding the bearing.
Thanks

There are 4 nuts holding the bearing carrier assembly to the T/A.
After you remove those nuts, you can knock off the bearing carrier and send it out for rebuild. I have a rebuilt pair that should be on my front porch this afternoon according to UPS.

You may be right.
I already had the flanges off using them to replace the half shaft universal joints.
