In the words of anyone who had done two minutes of research before attempting this, DON'T PRESS THE BEARING STRAIGHT ON!
I got this sorted today but had to borrow an impact wrench and compressor to get the hub nut off after wrecking my breaker bar trying to do it. This was a million times more difficult than I had anticipated/ than the rear bearings.
So to answer the question that was asked here in threads long ago of how hard is it to change a front bearing? It's a pain in the derrière, take it to a mechanic and pay them an hours labour unless you have all of the tools lying about!
