Clio 172 - front wheel bearing removal

[tony 16V]

anyone done this before?? I had a go last night and got no where fast...

is there 2 circlips? one on the front and one on the back?

will I need to put some heat on it to ease it out?

cheers Tony.

I usually get the circlip out smash the outter casing out then the inner part of the bearing is usally stuck to the knuckle - i heat this up and smash it off easy

i turn the MIG welder upto max and weld 4 beads on the inside of the outer shell, leave it to cool and then hammer it out
