the job itself on these can be done by any competent home mechanic but the bearing on these I believe come in 2 parts race and beaing, you must replace the race by tapping it out taking care not to damage the bore, and then reinstalling new one with a correct sized socket etc as thats the only hard part the bearing it just packed with grease and tightened to correct torque
