Hey guys my front left wheel bearing has play and needs replacing, is it something the Novice Home Mechanic can do?

Thanks

No not really, I did both my front ones, and it was a Pain, you will need wheel bearing replacment kit, CBC bearings have a kit, can't remember price. You will need a large press to remove and replace the bearing, and a varity of tools to do it, best option is to remove the hub and give to a mechanic to replace. Or find a second hand hub

This should be fun i couldn't find how to change the bearings anywhere in my Haynes Manual, i just bought a new jack for the job aswell !
