Front wheel bearing change out

[SFMXKR]

Anyone any experience of doing these? Looking to change one shortly and don't really want any nasty surprises! Any specialist tools? Many thanks for those who reply.

Hub assy off the car is pretty simple. Caliper + carrier, disc etc off, top, bottom and track rod ball joint and ABS sensor.

However

Special tool to undo the ABS rotor, which is also the nut
Special tool the press out out flange
Special tool to support hub assy while pressing out flange
Special tool to press out bearing
Special tool to Press in bearing
Special tool to support bearing while pressing flange back in
Special tool to support hub assy while pressing in flange

Special massive cir clip pliers

Massive 330 NM torque wrench.

oh yes nearly forgot 10 Ton press.

With all that kit, its dead easy, I could do then in an hour. Without it, virtually impossible. And you will destroy your ABS rotor.

Soz to be doom and gloom there may be a club or similar that higher the tools. Any one?.
