can't say if rovers the same as most other cars or trucks but, when ever i've done bearings usually take the caliper and rotor off. make sure u use some wire & tie it up and out of the way so not to break the rubber break line. then in the middle there is a "hub nut" that need to come off. usually a 32-38mm socket that u can rent for free from any chain auto parts store. while your there u can also rent a hub removal kit. also free with a deposit. put the 3 or 4 "claws" around the outside of the hub with the threaded rod positioned over axel where the hub nut was screwed on. tighten the rod & it will pull the hub off. after that the hub removal kit is no longer needed. put the new hub on so the "teeth" line up with the axel. everything else is just reverse order. u should know how many pounds of torque u should tighten the hub nut. u can find that in any repair manual for your vehicle. to tight could ruin the bearings and u will be doing it again soon and to loose.......u can figure that outcome. It's really not hard. the most common problem ive had is getting the rotor off. i usually grease the studs b4 i put it back on to avoid any future problems
