Did some searches and just want to confirm that I am correct.

For the rears, I would have to buy the full bolton hub?

Not really, my rear bearing went bad so I just ordered a new bearing. My friend that works at a dealer said I can just take off my hub and have him press on the new bearing.

My understanding was the the rear bearing would require the replacement of the hub? Am I incorrect in that, i could have sworn that is what the chilton said when i looked at it the other day (but lord knows the chilton can / has been wrong in the past)

you don't need the hub to replace the bearing, but i think most parts places sell it with the hub anyways. The toyota by me said that the bearing comes with the hub, but i elected to get an SKF one from napa for 80% cheaper.

Looked around, and toyota only sell it complete with the hub (abs)

Anyone can confirm that bearings are pressed in for the rears?

yes they are pressed in. if u don't have a press or don't know how to use one get the hub and bearing and bolt it on.

What would be the dangers of driving around with a dying rear wheel bearing?Reason for asking is because I am slowly gethering parts for my suspension and would like to do all of them at one go. (replacing whole hub for noisy bearing)

i got quoted 280 from a parts store that's not even a oem part. i had a hard time finding the one without abs so i gave up and tore one off at the junkyard but now that one is going bad booo

any warn bearings, will just cause more friction and drag. Also could cause a little shaking at higher speeds. If you wait it out a lil bit you'll be fine, but dont ignore it.

I have been driving for about 2 months with a bad bear, nothing has happened. Just a sound and a vibration.
