Around £70 its a one piece bearing and you need a press to fit as it can be a sod of a job to do.

I did a write up some years ago outlining the procedure and possible problems relating to replacement of P38 wheel bearings, gained from personal experience.
If anyone needs a copy, please send me a PM with your email address. I will mail you a copy (It's a Word document)

Britpart are £54.99 from Island. But you miss out on the free post by 1p. But buying a circlip for £3.00 or so gets you free shipping. He has a somewhat difficult to understand freepost policy for the UK. It says orders over £50.00 free delivery. Orders below £55.00 £5.00 post and packing. So you work it out.

I've just replaced a rear hub on mine. Correct me if I'm wrong but the hubs/bearings were never made to be separated or replaced and so even with a hydraulic press it's no guarantee of a trouble free job. I pressed the old bearing out of the original hub before opting for a replacement hub as after years of maintaining and inspecting aircraft and components my gut feeling was trouble looking at the corrosion present.
Although the bearing is a lot cheaper I just felt that if I paid for a bearing and to get the local machine shop to press it in and the result wasn't perfect I would have been £100 out of pocket before I replaced the hub anyway.
Just my way of thinking but it is Sod's law that if it can go wrong it inevitably will.
