fairly easy jo if yuo have done wheel bearings before and have an idea f what to do
you will probably find it cheaper to get the wheel bearings from your local bike shop
or a bearing supplier in your area

Fek i can't even wheelie on full power ,and you can do it without the engine running , that's just showing off ,that is mate
Bearings are a fairly easy task , you will need a long drift to drift out the first one ,working through the spacer shaft ,and catching the inner edge , keep working in 12 oclock----6 oclock ------9oclock--- 3 oclock ---- fashion so as not to jamb the bearing in the housing .Use the old bearing to reseat the new one , then a big socket or tube for the last 5mm , and don't FFS forget to put the spacer back in , as some people have done in the past
