AX Rear Arm Bearings

Well folks, due to my rather slender body profile ( i'm using those funny mirrors again [;)] ), it looks like my rear right wheel is suffering from what in the Xantia would be rear arm bearing wear.
Now, the book of lies spurts doom and gloom, and suggests taking it to a dealer, but has anyone actually done the bearing on the AX, and what's involved ?
If it's any difference, it's the 3 stud hub.
Cheers
Mat.

my old ax's went, too much jumping over humps down country water got in and that was the end of that i just replaced the whole rear beam alot less hassle i think you will prob need to replace bushes anyway four bolts under rear seat hold it on and the brakes, not a job for an amateur thou got a mechanic to do it for me.
good luck happy axing
