   When im going along straight or turning right, they make a whirling sort of sound, soon as I turn left, or on a bend turning left, the noise stops, So i assume its the back left [if sitting in drivers seat].
   
   They are drums thats on the car at the moment, how easy are they to change over? The bearing's I mean not the whole hubs.
   
   What sort of tools are needed? Labor Hours, Guides?
   
   Cheers thank you

   Half hour each side if you've got a press
   
   Alternatively, a massive hammer and plenty of frustration relief and swearing.

   Im doing one at the moment on another french thing. The moral of a bearing story is you need a press other wise you will not have a happy week
   
   Ive got the drum off and a new bearing to fit and my local friendly garage man said he will press the old one out and new one in for a couple of quid
