Nope very, very easy to do. Have to do quite a few on the race cars as they tend to get tweaked by contact with other cars etc.
Ten minute job if its one with air jacks!
When you've pressed the old bearing apart pull it apart and use the cage to push the new bearing in. Makes it a lot easier than trying to get a socket of the right size to sit on it and clear the disc.

needs pressed out and in, if your needing new rear disks they come with them pressed so its sometimes easyer just to change the disks (costs £200 though!)

Cheapest Wheel Bearing Guide and GSF Part number.
Hey all just to add abit of useful content to CS for a change...
I've had problems with my wheel bearing (back left)
For any of you that don't know the wheel bearing makes a loud droning sound when you speed up. A good way to check which side has the problem; Turn a tight left or tight right at 30mph. If the noise stops when turning left, the left bearing has the problem and v'versa. Or you can jack the car up and see if the wheel doesn't spin freely or makes a rubbing noise.
I found out that one of the cheapest places to buy a bearing from is GSF parts. The part number is VKBA969 which is £21.95+VAT. However when calling them they didn't have any in stock so i bought a clio substitute they recommended to me which came in at just under £17 inc VAT.
I was going to fit it myself however my press has gone missing
i took it to my local garage and they fitted it for me for £30 all in.
Therefore I have spent £47 for a new bearing. fitted. There are people that have spent over £100 getting this done on CS. Why?!!?
My car is now so much quieter

any of you lads that pressed them in personally help me out here:
want to press in the new bearings to new discs, i cant take the old ones off first as need the car.
the bearing kit came with a white plastic spacer, bearing, circlip and nut.
The bearing has a sealing lip on one side only.
Which way does it assemble into the disc?
