Remove center cap from the wheel. Undo 32mm bolt that holds the drive shaft in

Slack wheel nuts

Jack up remove wheel

Undo 3 13mm bolts on ball joint

Undo 17mm nut on track rod end (Hit stub axal end with BIG hammer) you can get a ball joint spliter for this but boths ways are fine

ABS wire

Brake cailper, Leave hose conected ect just surport with cable tie

Then mark possition of the strut in comparasion to stub axal so you know mess up your camber (used tipx or spray paint to draw round shocker half) Slack 18mm bolts and remove

Be carfull not to damage CV gater, ball joint rubber brake hose ect

Tap center of CV joint with center punch in middle of spline, untill you have removed it

Remove stub axal

Remove brakes disc ect

Remove C-clip

Use press to remove old bearing (can be done with hammer and brass drift but takes alot of effort

Use press to asemble new wheel bearing

assemble as before but in revirse

Torque setting for CV center nut but i havn't met a mechanic that used one, U just kind of know but you might want to get the torque setting

Hope this helps tom
