Wheel bearing question
Morning all
Just a quick question, I've got a 2001 Bug eye wagon.
Front nearside wheel bearing has started squeeking and needs replacing.
Was wondering if it was a big job to change it and roughly how long would you expect it to take to do.
Thanks

Mine died last year and 3 out of four take the hub with them....
I paid for mine as I heard it was a press job !
I may be wrong.

It's a simple job but definitely requires a press (have done 2 front and 2 rear over 4 Scoobs). About 2 to 3 hours if you can do it yourself, or about £70 plus the bearing if you are friendly with your local fitter.
