02 1.6 How difficult to replace rear wheel hubs - gozling2
New to the forum and looking for some advise on replacing rear wheel hubs on a zafira (non ABS) doing it for a friend as it has just failed it's MOT & she hasn't the funds to put it to the garage, I am very mechanically minded (I have a Land Rover Discovery which I work on) but I'm unsure about work involved to replace parts.

Many thanks
