Is it a 180? If it is, you'll need a bearing press.

My garage done mine for £80 - Including replacing hub studs

Take it to Paul Luti @ Dreadnough, they will do it.

I got a brand new QH bearing here if you want to buy it.

I have a bearing bought one by mistake ages ago. Just don't have a press

Now I reckon this press thingy is not exactly required. They can't be any harder to get out than a Vauxhall one surely? Warm it up between two house bricks and get a old long extension and a lump hammer into it. Pop new one in freezer for and hour or two warm hub up again and tap new one in. Anyone even tried it on here?

Heating them is how I changed mine, I didn't bother freezing the bearing, I just heated the suspension upright and the bearing dropped straight in.

Sure if you stripped it a garage would press it in for you for cheap
