awsome cheers for the info
Get a 52mm socket, got em on ebay for fook all. Don't use a chisel
And make sure it's a socket, not a cheaper hub nut spanner

what sort of grease do i need?

Yaaaar
I used jcb hp lithium grease, I use it on me machine to rub on me nipples so I gets it for free from work
I also use it for everything me ujs, sandwiches, anal etcound:
With a little time for the first one it's an easy job. First one I did took an hour or so, but next one only took about 1/2 hour. with £15 for parts is a lot cheaper to DIY

Careful about being told they need replacing. I've had mine quoted as knacked but just needed the lock nuts undoing and nipping up a bit, bearings themselves were fine. I've always used a chisel to undo the outer nut but not the inner nut as if its not smooth it won't nip up nicely

Can you guarantee they use decent bearings? They probably will use **** part ones which will fail.
Make sure they use decent bearings. Ask langers about cheap bearings.
