I managed to change the front wheel bearing in 90 minutes last night. That included moving all the other cars off the drive, getting the Jimny out of the garage and changing the bearing on the drive (There is more room outside, my garage is small!)
I will have to update my "How To" document as by changing a couple of steps in the sequence the whole job becomes quite quick. Basically you have to remove the locking hub and loosen the wheel bearing nut BEFORE jacking the car up and removing the wheel. This means you are not trying to stop the whole driveshaft/gearbox/engine rotating whilst you are attempting to undo the very tight nuts - the weight of the car helps you out.
