'73 2002a rear brake, possible bearing issue

[James Stone <acen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to everyone that responded to my previous posting, even with the
misspelling.  Bascially  I came home one day and the rear right wheels brake was
smoking.

I was finally able to pull the wheels off of the '02 this weekend and found the
following things
1) it is not the emergency brake cable
2) the brake functions correctly on both sides with the drum on and off
3) there is a small scraping sound that comes from the wheel with the drum on /
off and with the tire on.

Based on what I found this weekend I am thinking it might be the wheel bearing.
My question is, are there any other things that I may have overlooked.  Also,
how involved is replacing the rear bearings and what would be a good place to
have it done.  Dealer, BMW Specialist, German Car Shop, Brake Shop, etc and what
is a fair price to have both wheels done.
