fiesta wheel bearin?

how to fit a new wheel bearing to the front of a ford fiesta 1995 n reg thank you

Whilst the car is on the floor you'll have to get a socket big enough to undo the hub nut(about 32 mm).Undo this.
Raise the car.Put axle stands under it.
Remove & suspend the brake caliper.
Undo the bottom ball joint.
Fully unscrew the hub nut & tap out the driveshaft.
There shoud be two bolts securing the hub to the strut.Take these out.
The hub should now be free.
My advice is get the bearing and give it to a local engineering firm for them to press your old bearing out//new bearing in.
When you re-assemble get all your torque figures right.Use a NEW hubnut to the correct torque & pein it over.
Good Luck.
