Wheel bearings are a real bitch to get out of the hub! I did my mates 205 the other day, and F*** me!... You gonna need a nice lump hammer, and a socket that fit over the bearing, and lots of patience! (if I had to do it again, I would go to a garage!)

Ant you need a 30mm deep socket, a 13mm, 17mm and 19mm socket. as ste sed take the hub/knuckle off the car by undoing the syspension bolts and just un hook it all and take it down t garage. to put the track controll ball joint back in you need a bar to press the top down to stop the joint from spinning but appart from that its a piece of piss

I just did my rear wheel bearing, it was a piece of piss!!!!! just make sure you have a torque wrench and also that everything is perfectly clean whilst doing it, otherwise it will just go bad again very quickly.

Mmmmm forbidden donut. :)
