Hi Yorkie, do a "search", this should find information on the front wheel bearings. They come as a complete assembly in a 'cassette' which bolts to the back of the hub carrier. German Swedish & French or Eurocarparts can supply cheaper than main dealer, no doubt various others can supply too but I have no experience. It's a straightforward job to change them yourself if you are a handy mechanic, but you'll need a 3/4" or 1" drive socket set to undo/do up the front hub nuts [they're big and done up tight!], and a female torx socket [Machine Mart do a set] for the bolts holding the cassette to the hub carrier.
