How easy is a rear wheel bearing to do it's the passenger side (I think it drones when I turn right so that means the weight is pushing on the left side ) I have bought one for about £20 and just need to fit it now. The noise is getting annoying especially on the motorway :x

Not a DIY job unless you have the special tools.
Get a garage to do it for you.

i've done both of mine on my iS and i've done loadsa more at work. i wouldn't advise trying to do it unless you've got a slide hammer and a ramp, and plenty of energy and patience!!!

also, the passenger side is worse, because you gotta drop the exhaust down

if you want to know how to do it, i wrote a technical article on it about 6-7 months ago. search for it in the 'search' section. if you cant find it, then post on this thread or pm me and i'll help you out mate, ok...
