wheel bearings are extremely easy to do
if they are stuffed then i would reccomend fixing them straight away
if you don't and they are really stuffed they will increase wear on your brakes and a couple of other things due to extra heat in the wheel hub
then your up for new rotors and the works
all you need to do it is the new bearings (buy the kit)
a hammer, a punch and a tub of bearing grease
take off wheel hub, remove old bearings, bash out old runners with hammer & punch, bash in new runners with h&p, properly pack new bearings, put back together and tension correctly
OR if u don't feel confident find the nearest tafe that does automotive mechs
ask if one of the boys there can do it for ya :)

And, remember, the LH rear hub nut is a LH thread!I've seen people spend days trying to undo one if they don't know this... :lol:

Make sure you torque up the hub nut also....with Morris And Marcia I have found 3 out of the eight have been loose as.

Wheel bearings are easy today..If can do it so can you guys :shock:
