Default 306 rear wheel bearings

Anyone ever changed these before - and is it TOTALLY not worth fcking around with myself? (I reckon I can get both sides done for about £250 all in).

Cheers!

Nope havnt done it, though have owned 3 306's, and tbh your car must have some miles on for them to need replacing? (90-100k?)

It's been lowered (a lot!!!!!) and I give it a damn good thrashing Prior to the bearings going, handling was absolutely amazing - felt nearly as good as the scoob (I did say "nearly"...) It's not quite turned over 70K yet so reckon it's good for a bit more!

Think the bearings are £50 a set from Pug - and I think there's between 3 - 6 hours of labour involved depending on how much of an a*se it is to remove the old ones - so thought £250 all in was pretty reasonable??

Would appreciate a recommendation which'll cost me less!

Cheers!
