Easy enough you say?
Wheel bearing is a night mare mate i wouldnt attempt it yourself unless you are very, very confident.
i did mine at the weekend and had to cut it out with oxyaceclyn(fine point blow torch) was a right ba**ard and was just as hard to get the new one back in!
best to take your whole suspension strutt off.
You WILL need 2 people for this!
if you feel confident hear goes:
1/wheel off,
2/brake caliper off (2 19mm bolts at the back of the caliper)
3/Brake disk off(2 little torx bolts)
4/Tap out the crimps on the driveshaft nut with a chissel and undo the driveshaft nut.(you should get a new driveshaft nut with your bearing)
5/ Undo you droplink where it connects to the suspension strutt next to the spring.(your droplink connects your antiroll bar to your suspension strutt)
6/then undo the bolt under your strutt that fixex your strutt to the the wishbone. this can be quite tricky to get off. you will need to keep the wishbone end prized open while you lever it out of the bottom of the strutt with a THICK bar. be carefull you dont split your driveshaft rubber gaitor though or you'll be froking out for a new driveshaft!
7/ open the bonnet and undo the 3 bolts on the top of your suspension strutt (13mm socket i think)
8/ then you need one person holding the driveshaft into the gearbox(otherwise you'll lose all your gearbox oil!) while you pull the suspension strutt off the end of the driveshaft. you will need to makesure the driveshaft stays in the gearbox all the time unless you want to undo the really awquard filler bolt and buy some more gearbox oil!
9/ then you will need to hit out the hub itsself from the strutt and bearing.
10/ then you will need to take the strutt and you'll see a BIG circlip on the inner side of the strutt that secures the bearing in place.
11/ then you need to BASH the bearing out. it should come out from the same side the circlip came out.
12/ when you have finally got the bearing out grease the slot and SLOWLY tap in the new bearing making sure its going in level at ALL times.
13/ when you have the bearing in, put in you new or old circlip and put everything back on in the same order you took it off. making sure that you tap the edges of driveshaft nut back into the crimp slots!
Thats it i think. if anyone can see if iv missed anything then please feel free to add!
Cheers,.
