how to replace front wheel bearings on a transit?

jack up,support with stands,remove caliper and tie up to support hose,remove caliper bridge,remove c.v joint nut-36mm,there should be 5 holes in the hub,look through there and see 5 torx 50 bolts,remove each one in turn,these hold the bearing onto the hub carrier,you will need help from someone now,to prevent damage to your disc get someone to hold a big block of wood behind disc to prevent damage to the disc and hammer the bearing from the carrier,these are usually tight so you may need a sledge hammer for this,some wd40 may help too,once hub assy.is off remove the disc, you will need a press to remove and fit bearing,clean up the hub carrier where the bearing is mounted and apply copaslip to help removal in the future,rebuild in reverse,you usually get new bolts etc in the bearing kits.
