Rear nearside wheel bearing.

Had the noise from rear nearside disgnosed as wheel bearing so will get it done by the old boys at the local garage. How long should it take? Read on here that changing the whole hub might be easier, though no doubt more costly. Finally as one is going is it worth doing offside at same time? Seems to be lots of prices for front assembley but rear seems a bit more thin on the ground.
Thanks

I wouldn’t change the other side just for the sake of it although when you’ve had one done you can then hear the other one going! Whistle Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

Can I hijack this thread and ask if a wheel bearing on the FL2 is something any garage can deal with rather than needing an indy specialist? Learned to drive in 2011.
Bought a Micra - great little car
"Upgraded" to Kia Sportage - hated it
Proper upgrade to FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - tailgate paint issues, fuel gauge rewire, transfer box failure at 36k miles, clutch at 60k
Reconditioned diff at 70k ish
Sold at 84k and now on a DS. Terribly unreliable.
Sold DS for a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Fingers crossed....
Sold Outlander for a 2014 SD4 SE Tech because I’m mental

I would think any half-decent garage would be able to do it. AFAIK, no LR specialist tools are required and I'm sure I've read posts on here of owners fitting them themselves. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

You need a fairly massive press to replace the actual bearings, or you can do what I did and replace the whole hub assembly and the whole thing can be done in under an hour.

Had my nearside rear wheel bearing done at a local non LR garage. Can’t remember how much I paid for that to be done but thinking it was the diff bearing I did a round trip of two hundred miles to Bell Engineering.

Austin not only correctly diagnosed the wheel bearing (but at that time didn’t stock them) He confidently said if he was wrong, he’d pay for any other (associated) repairs himself. Needless to say, he was spot on Very Happy

Did you need an alignment afterward? Where did you buy the hub assembly?

I had a bearing replaced a year and a half ago and it's giving me issues again. I don't want to deal with another shop.
