X Trail front wheel bearing

Discodog

I need to replace my front, nearside wheel bearing. The bearing needs to be pressed out or I get the assembly with the bearing included. Anyone know of a Garage around Galway that could do it?. The cost of an assembly could be worth it as I could fit it myself.

Better to just get the whole assembly, then it's a simple bolt off/bolt on job if you're anyway handy.

Looks more involved. The hub needs a puller or a slide hammer to remove it.
I can't find anywhere selling the assembly with the bearing in place.

I may have been looking at the wrong model, what year is your x-trail?

Ah yes assumed it was the later model, bearing needs to be pressed out/in so looks like garage job. On the plus side bearing can be bought for circa 40 quid so shouldn't work out much more expensive.
