hi first yo need to remove the wheel and to remove the front hub nut u need to pop out the hub centr cap with a screwdriver and pull out the split pin with pointy nose pliers. then you will need to use a 32mm socket to undo the hub nut and once that is done the bearing just pulls out with your fingers remember to take notice of which way it comes out because it has to go back the same way or it will crush it inside the hub. its quite easy to do
