Looking to replace front wheel bearing passenger side. Brakes, disc off etc. Am I right in thinking I will have to disengage suspension to get at wheel hub as it is part of assembly
Cheers

Theres kits to do it in situ, but it is far easier off the car.
Remove hubnut, Unbolt caliper carrier, track end and wishbone balljoint bolt, remove disc, then you need to remove topmount bolts (3 of them) and should be easy to take the whole leg out.
Best bet is to get a shop to press out the old bearing and replace it, its a quick job with a press.

Blowtorch the nut. Other option is a new one and cut the old one off!

Or wind the track rod off and get the end off while its off the car in comfort
