Re: Front wheel bearing
The wheel bearing is located in the spindle, behind the rotor and is held on with 3 T55 bolts. To get at it, you will have to remove the rotor, seperate the lower control arm, and pull the spindle off the drive shaft. That involves seperating the ball joint and dampening strut that is attached to the lower control arm. Moderately difficult operation.
You also may want to re-investigate into if the noise is indeed coming from the wheel bearing. The front disk brakes do make a intermittant metalic noise when the pads get worn low that can be confused with a wheel bearing like noise. A bad wheel bearing on the other hand will cause the wheel not to spin true and cause shaking.
