from what I gathered reading the haynes its a bit of a bugger, whole rear hub needs to be dismantaled, think it was a 4 spanner rating, would need a press to get the bearing in/out but its worth doing yourself or the garage would only charge an arm and a leg, try and get it apart and just take the hub part to a garage and get them to press it in and out...
