If you dont have a hydraulic press then dont do it lol i achieved it without one but it really wasnt worth the hassle

If you have access to a decent vice you won't need a press, I have changed possibly hundreds of wheel bearings with just a vice, often I have managed it without the vice but it helps.

i can get hold ov a vice / hydrolic press, how do i remove hub what tools do i need?

 

[hussain]

loosen hub nut, disconnect track rod end and bottom ball joint, remove brake caliper housing and then remove disc. remove two bolts that connect the hub to shocker (21mm or 18mm cant remember) and thats your hub ready to have bearing pressed out and then reverse to fit back together

I'm not sure if this applies to Micras, but there may well be a circlip holding the bearing in place. I should say be sure to use circlip pliers to take it out, but again I have found a couple of long screwdrivers will do the job.

As Franks said the hardest part is freeing the hub nut. Its best slackened off first when the cars on the ground in one piece, you'll need a breaker bar & some pipe if you value your knuckles!
