Default wheel bearing

hi mate its not as easy as you think changing a wheel bearing.the old bearing has to be pressed out and new one pressed back in.you have to remove the ful hub assembly from the car.drive shaft brake calliper track rod end bottom ball joint abs cable the bottom ball joint can be a swine to get out of the alloy bottom arm.so you might be better giveing it to some one who knows how to do the job mate.would love to help you todo the job for you but i stay a long way from you sorry mate.hope this helps

We had to change this on my car a couple of years back and as Jimmy has pointed on, it's not a 5 minute job mate
