i got quoted £30 and paid £24 after trade discount

not too bad, its easy to fit in.

just need the hub tool, undo the wish bone bit (lower ball joint) and knock it out

Depends what condition its in to start with, sometimes the bolts get seized etc...

just get a torque wrench, tell someone to press the brakes whilst the car is running, few nudges and its out

sometimes its a b*stard to get the shaft out of the diff, mine got jammed last time when my gearbox died
