Buying car tomorrow, how easy is it to change a wheel bearing as apparently there's a noise coming from a corner (I think it's the front).

Thanks all

Is buying the complete hub assembling a good alternative to doing the wheel bearing? Could surely get a hub from a breakers for £20 and fit yourself = cheaper than getting a garage to fit a bearing?

Fitting hub is just a few bolts, right?
