is it a front one or a rear bearing. I think you will need a press to get the old one out and the new one in.

you could prob do it yourself i did a puma front wheel bearing and it was relativly easy you would need a bearing insert tool

just clean all mating surfaces with emery papaer then oil them up and gently and evenly inserrt the bearing with the above tool
or take the hub of the bar and take it to garage it should keep the cost down

Its a piss easy job mate you just need to take care putting the new bearing in or get a garage to press it in for you.
If you do it yoursef will probably save you 60 bucks or so
