I fitted a Lucas one from ECP a couple of years ago Nige.
Seem to remember 65 quid rings a bell.
You will need some scaffolding and a long bar.
Watch out you don't smash the abs sensor when you abuse it off 

I haven't done my front wheel bearing(s) but once hub nut off wouldn't the old unit just slide off? Or are these known for seizing? Most bolt on bearing/hub complete assemblies on other motors just slide off the stub axle after hub nut off.

I used Autovaux with no issues but I would think GSF or Euro Crap Parts would be similar in quality, I think I paid £35 a side.

Front hub nut is 200Nm and the the hub assembly just slides off 

320Nm

After some serious abuse from behind with a lump hammer 

You would have probably hit it with a hammer whether it needed it or not knowing you 

Both of mine just pulled off with a small amount of force, no hammer required over here

Ah yes...I forgot that my torque wrench only goes to 200Nm, IIRC I did it to 200Nm and then a further 90 degrees.
It was a good few years ago now 

[Doctor Gollum]

Big halfords one goes to 300nm which is pretty much enough
