You Have 2 Options

Originally your only option was to replace the entire hub. Unless you have a hydraulic press, this is your only option.

Now there are aftermarket bearings but you do need to press the old one out and press the new one in.

Front Wheel Hub Removal

Left wheel carrier – A451 330 01 59
Right wheel carrier – A451 330 00 59

These can be bought (at expense) only from smart, so get saving. You’ll also need a special tool to remove the shock absorber.

Removal Of The Front Wheel Carrier

The top arrow points to the drop link bolt, lower arrow points to the hub clamp bolt.

Remove the drop link nut with a 16mm spanner and a Torx 30 (58Nm on refitting).
