the torque spec's are 71-89 inch pounds. start with the center bolts then work out in an opposite, (criss/cross) pattern, like you would tightening wheel lugs. please rate if this helped!
Rear wheel bearing should not be very much. Front would be considerably more. Find a reputable mechanic with a reasonable shop rate. STAY AWAY from car dealerships , they always , always , always overcharge.
the rear wheel bearing is part of the rear hub and not serviceable the hub itself needs to be replaced, its fairly simple, and not that expensive,you must remove the brake caliper and rotor to remove it.

Take off the wheel, remove the brake caliper (2 bolts on the back), then the rotor just slides off, the wheel studs are part of the hub assembly not the rotor.
for drum brakes with sealed hub(all one piece) remove lug nuts and wheel.
spray penetrating oil around studs if there is a big phillips head screw visible remove it with impact driver/if not use big ballpeen hammer ,tap on flat of drum near studs(becareful not to hit them) until drum loosens(your creating a shockwave to loosen rust)
once drum is off there are 4-bolts coming in from behind backing plate, remove them then hub should be able to be removed w/a little persuation from hammer.
with out sealed hub ,
remove wheel
remove dust cap,cotterpin,star washer(if equipped) do not re use cotter pin
remove nut then washer, wiggle brake drum and front bearing will come out.
put nut on shaft tighten 2-3 turns grab drum by sides and pull towards you this should remove drum leaving inner bearing/seal on shaft
to replace reverse procedure making sure to pack new bearings w/grease(take drum and use long punch to remove bearing races, use race/seal installer to install new races
