   Hi, i've tried searching but haven't had much luck, if theres somebody who coud point me to a guide or anything, that'd be great. My driver side rear bearing on my MK1 VTR is going and needs replacing. In the Haynes manual it states that i'll need a whole new hub. Is this correct? Getting hold of a new hub probably won't be much of a problem but i want to fit it myself to save a few quid! Is this straightforward to do? MOT is due by the 17th so want to get a few problems sorted before then! Thanks.

   If they are like the front bearings you need a press or you will have a nightmare with it lol

   I'm going to give you a ring shortly to get a new hub, didn't think they'd be that cheap to be honest!
