Default '01 Fabia front wheel bearings Q. ?

Hello,

once again I find myself asking questions for possibly the worst car we've ever had.

Are the front wheel bearings on an '01 fabia an easy job ?

Will I need to get them pressed out of the hub ? Or do they just " pop out "

thanks.

Mr unhappy 8v

They aren't really a DIY jobbie, they can be pressed but should really be put in with the correct puller tool. Wheel bearing comes complete with hub and ABS rotor.

About £70 for the bearing.
