Replacing the front wheel hub bearing is quite straightforward, but it is advisable to have a press to extract the old one and insert the new one; this part is not handled as a loose bearing but already complete with a wheel flange. The replacement involves removing the hub support by disconnecting the driveshaft, the steering rack tie rod, and the suspension arm ball joint.

To facilitate the extraction of the bearing, you can either heat the support with a blowtorch or use the method shown in the video of freezing the hub itself; at this point, extract the old bearing and insert the new one with the aid of the press.
