Question Replacing Suzuki Bearings

It is not a thread about Mercedes.
I just found out that my daughter's Suzuki Forenza 2007 need new bearings on the front wells which is the driven wheels. I know that bearings replacement for drive weels are not the same as for not drive wheels.
As Suzuki books are not available in store I decided to ask on this site for some help in how to do it myself. I had replaced bearings on my Mercedes front wheel but never did it on rear wheel.
I will appreciate all help possible from all people.
Thanks.

Nivaldo

Dunno if this is correct model, but here's a video. Looks rather simple, but expensive.

You might try Suzuki-Forums.com. Here's a thread from there.

This is an easy replacement !!
1/ Sell the car.
2/ use the funds from 1/ to buy her a good used Mercedes.
Bearing problem solved & you didnt even get your hands dirty!!

Not too expensive, $55 at O'Reilly's. Looks like you have to knock the axle out, pull the knuckle and press the old bearing out and the new one in. There is probably a snap ring on one side of the knuckle and a ridge on the other to contain it.
Three years is a very short life for a wheel bearing, and should be covered under warranty if there is any left.
