   What do you mean by the front bearing mate? Never heard of that one before.

   Front Wheel Bearing...About 1-2 hours if you have the right tools
   
   I Found it easyer to remove the whole suspension strut. Smash the old bearing out(Not easily), or use a press, and press the new one in..(I didn't have one so I used the shell of the old bearing to tap on so not to damage the new bearing. and when you put the hub back in, make sure you support the inner bearing part, otherwise it could damage.
