   Hi all,
   
   I'm needing to change my front wheel bearings and I'm wondering, is it just a case of getting the hub off and popping out the old and pressing in the new?
   
   Any help very much appreciated!
   
   Cheers

   You might get lucky with some heat but they'll need pressing out most likely

   lol did my own front wheel bearings on a saxo and they are a total bitch if you don't have the right equipment, if I hadto do one again i'd take the strut off and get a garage to press the old one out and new one in

   Thanks guys, Ben what do you reckon a garage would cost to do that?

   Depends where you take it I'd guess 20-30 quid? not a big job if they have a press will take them like 10 mins
