I just changed both back bearings on my 2006 rx 330 (AWD) and these instructions worked great. I still had the problem of separating the hub from the backing plate due to rust but found a solution that worked well. Once free (I used a 2 prong gear puller), Slide hub and backing plate unit off of drive shaft onto a wood block for support to protect the brake cable as mentioned. Turn unit sideways to gain access to rear of bearing flange that protrudes through the backing plate. Whack this flange around its edge until you break the rust seal and the bearing hub pops off. This way you won't bend the backing plate.
