Can anyone point me in the direction of a good front wheel bearing replacement tutorial either Video or text, just spent some time on looking with no luck. Thanks in advance.

All I'd add to this is that I remove the old bearing from the stub axle by careful cutting and grinding with an angle grinder. Even if you nick the stub axle you'll be OK. Also don't make the mistake I've made once and press the bearing on back to front. Done mine twice on both sides now. I get about 90K miles from a bearing.

Brilliant, thanks very much for this, I see Rough Trax sell the bearings for about £78 is this the best deal?

Those are the ones I've used and they lasted as long as the originals. For the faff of doing it I wouldn't scrimp too much.
