As header how hard is it to change the bearing on the front hubs, I have the chance to get some good second hand hubs (pic below)

Hub nut is 320 nm so will need holding very firmly to undo if off the car!
Apart from that ist easy enougj to do on the front.

Guide in "maintenance"
Wheel off, remove dustcap, wheel back on & lower. 32mm socket & breaker bar on hub nut (320Nm).
Remove both caliper bolts (13mm & 17mm). Remove pads, tie caliper out of the way.
Remove hub carrier bolts (18mm) & disc retaining screw (5mm allen key) & remove disc.
Remove hub assembly (might need whacking)
Fit new hub onto shaft & using 32mm socket on the INNER track, drive hub "home" & fit new nut.
Re-fit disc, caliper etc. (not the dust cap)
Re-fit wheel & lower & torque nut to 320Nm.
Remove wheel & refit dust cap.
Refit wheel......job done.

If you swap hubs assembly as pictured with baring assembly attached you'll need to re set the camber. Better to remove the baring assembly by undoing the 320 mill nut and swap just those... Unless theres a problem with the hub assembly?.
There is some possible confussion with terminology here.
Baring is pressed in to the metal flange bit the wheels bolt to. It comes as one bit, so thats the baring in its own assembly imo.
Thats bolted to what i call the hub assembly and holds the caliper/wheel and baring/shock in place...
To swap, the shock has to be removed and therefor the camber setting will be lost.
Hope i've described that clearly :-/

Nope. Bearing & hub is one unit

I don't know the history of this car but the camber setting is probably wrong anyway ::)
I would swap the whole hub + stub axle assembly and then go to WIM to have the suspension set up properly.
[edit]or (as Glasgow is even further from Chesham than I am) I would do what I did earlier this year and use a 6 foot straight edge and a roofers square to measure and set the camber manually[/edit]

Could be years old. Complete new hub is only about £40, for the sake of £15..........

True, the guy behind the counter was alright he gave me trade discount on the thermostat I bought

Still wouldn`t go for that 2nd hand hub though :P

True, it's just that I'm passing there tomorrow, so I could have checked it out first as the front bearing is started to grind.
-
Won`t have a decent idea of any bearing wear until it`s actually mounted on the car

My way was the easiest. Buy hub from dealer & then pay local garage to fit it. ;) ;) ;)

I wouldn't buy second hand. Get one of the Contitech ones, they're good and they are easy enough to fit. Infact if you passing drop in, its only half an hour a side to do and i've got a torque wrench up to the job as well ;)

Cheers Pete but I drove down the M6 on Sunday but I might stop of on the back up :)

I'm only 10 minutes from Junction 18 ;)

It was a couple of years ago, but I think your quote of something over £100 sounds about right.

Cool, I don't know when I'm driving back up but it may not be for a couple weeks
