Front or rear?

Rear is a wheel bearing change requirement aswell, as you need to destroy the wheel bearing to remove the flange. Definately for the later type, not sure about multipiece bearings.

Front might be simpler to get a replacement hub, same applies to rear, but you need the hub/flange and backplate all together if you want to avoid rear wheel bearing change.

It's not that hard, you just have to put some thought into it. The only thing that we don't have a lot of is panels.
