    How to replace front wheel bearings A6 c6

    After only156k miles, I've just noticed a rumbling started. I need to do some investigation over the weekend, but I think it's O/S Front wheel bearing.
    Anyone done one of these recently? Is it a job I can do myself without a press, or am I best leaving it to my local expert?
    Any help much appreciated

    Ps It's a 3.0Tdi quattro avant 2010

      I've seen bearing kits on GSF website, and the photo shows the bearing only, but you're suggesting I buy the bearing/hub assembly???

              You have to crack hub nut and get drive shaft out the way them unbolt the 4 bolts holding the bearing and carrier through the arm. You can either remove upper control arm pinch bolt which can be a ******* if seized or worse still it shears. Failing that you should be able to remove driveshaft completey as if doing an inner cv then access to 4 bolts should be easy. Last one I did took 1 hour been a while but I don't recall it being hard. Rears on 2wd are a delight to do...
