You only need to do the other one if it's rough or noisy. Don't forget you'll need a hydraulic press too. If you don't have one, speak to your local garage and see how much they will press it for you. Should only cost you £10 or so.

The rear bearings are £35 on eBay, not tried anywhere else yet but I think my rear O/S is going too so if you find anywhere else, give me a shout!

Prob will be mate, it can easily be mistaken for a rear diff noise too.
Jack the car up and spin the wheel, listening for a rough noise (not discs) then give it a.... Pull? Tug? and check for any play...

Top and bottom of the wheel and pull/tug if you can move the wheel then you prob need a new bearing! Make sure you spin the wheel and repeat test!
