Hi Chris,

All the information you should need is in the Haynes manual! Also if you do a search (recommended on here, often you can find information faster than if you put up a topic) you should find some information, i'm sure it was brought up only a couple of weeks ago.

When I did mine the bearing kits came with all the parts needed - for example circlips, disc retaining screws and so on.

You may need to replace the tie rod ends (as they won't unbolt - it just spins and the nut must be ground off), and you might want to do the ball joints while you're there.

Of course, you'll need access to a press too ;)
