awesome forum guys - would have atleast got a response on my subaru forums???

Hi All, I am a subaru man myself, but my other half drives a 1990 corolla hatch. AE90 i think, carby engine. I love this little car, apart from replacing the brushes in the alternator i have never had to do any more than regular servicing on it. The car has started to develop a really loud road noise that starts at about 80kph and gets really bad at 100kph. It sounds like wheel bearings to me, however before i go pulling the rear end apart i thought i would ask if there are any other common problems i should look at? The rear drums are in bad need of machining and new shoes, so i am planning to pull the rear end apart and have the brakes done up, and new bearings fitted. Has anyone got info on replacing wheel bearings in these cars? Thanks
