Looks like it comes already pressed.

Is it just a case of removing the caliper, pads, disks.

Unbolting the assembly, bolting the new one on and bobs your uncle?

Here's the item in question: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291053072072

Yep pretty much. Recently did it myself with great satisfaction.
Only pig for me was removing the old cone shaped cap, had to hammer it out with a large flat blade screwdriver. Also the replacement cap is a bit of a pig going back in with out denting it.
Lovely not to have the droning.
Bloody Fiat! Lovely cars just nothing lasts!
 
I did one in the spring, quite simple but I had to buy a socket and breaker bar (about £35 for halfords professional IIRC). The job took me about two hours at a leisurely pace and my biggest problem was getting the knackered rear pads out and back in again afterwards. I'd say if you're comfortable changing disks and pads then you'll be ok with changing the bearing.

P.s. Eurocarparts stock a choice of bearings, I paid a bit more for the OEM one but got I big discount with a code.

Sweet.

I've changed turbos, engines, suspension, exhausts, fuel pumps, FMIC's, etc in the past, so no job is too big or small, just haven't done a wheel bearing before and thought it would be worth checking if there was any silly Fiat [FONT=&quot]quirks [/FONT]that could catch me out but sounds simple enough!

Also, didn't get the ECP part, just used it to illustrate the part. (y)
