Went pretty well all things considered, only hickup i had was the sensor on the knuckle, i spent a good hour+ trying to remove the sensor from the knuckle only 1 screw holds it but it just would not budge no matter what i tried, i gave up in the end as i was worried i would damage it so i traced the sensor back into the engine bay and uncoupled it and left it on the knuckle while the bearing was pressed out.
New hub and bearing in place and the noise is now gone and car now drives fantastic! Decided in the end not to buy a press and took it to be pressed at a garage for £20.
All in costs were:
Genuine brand new hub £45
NTN Bearing from tegiwa £35
Cost to press £20
So total £100.

I was very lucky, their was a main dealer on ebay selling it for £50 or best offer, i put a best offer of £45 and they accepted, i can only presume they ordered it for a job and didnt need it so sold it cheap to get rid, on the listing it said RRP £160+
And that included free next day delivery too lol
As it turned out my old hub was completely fine with no pits or damage to it, so i still have my old good hub in my cupboard if i ever need it for the opposite side of the car.

Only other thing was that when i was popping the ball joints (only popped 2 top and control arm, undid the bolts on lower) some grease came out of the rubber boot, theirs no damage to the boot but i did not replace the lost grease either, theirs obviously still grease in the boot, is it normal for grease to leak out?
