What you do is, you remove the tyre by removing the wheel nuts, then you remove the brake caliper by removing the 2 bolts holding it in place, and the brake disc after that. Depending on the type of bearing it uses, you may need a flat head screw driver to take the old bearing off. When you put the new bearing on, make sure it's properly greased before you put it back on. Then you put the disc back on, caliper and tyre. Make sure the disc is on the steering rack properly
