Not 100% sure as I have not done an AE111 rear bearing but earlier model corollas have the nut on the back and to get to it you must undo 4 bolt behind the hub and remve it.

check behind the threaded hole,

sometimes you have to put a small bolt into the holes and tighten them, then the bolts push the hub off

the two holes are used to take the brake disc off, once its off there is a round disc behinde it (smaller) with a big hole in it... through that hole put a socket through it onto the bolts I think there is four... they all hold the hub on.

So, the 4 bolts inside the hub, when tightened will sort the loose bearing?

um, On my AE-111 you cant tighten the rear wheel bearing, I couldnt just replace the bearing because the bearing is part of the hub housing and is not repairable you have to replace the whole bearing housing

For all people for future reference.;
You can remove the hub from the car (provided the bearing isn't rumbly) undo the stake on the nut and tighten with a rattle gun. :twisted:
But this is strictly for a bearing that is loose only, if it's noisy it'd be recommended to replace it.
I've just finished working on Luke's car and that fixed the problem..
