No you don't have to remove the bumper. I removed both headlamps, bonnet catch, bracket for bonnet catch and wiring. Plastic divider panel by O/S headlamp, top section of grill and intercooler. The bottom mounting bolt for the condenser on the O/S is difficult to get to but just needs to be loosened, don't wind it out to far like I did. I used a 3/8 drive ratchet with extension and UJ joint to get to it through air holes in bumper. Get sone new M8 x 30mm flange bolts for the pipe joints in case they are corroded like mine were. I got some on ebay.proth said:HI Timbo
I need to change the Condenser on our Antara, did you have to remove the front bumper to get it out?
Cheers

You can't buy just a bearing. It comes with the hub and ABS sensor. It was non-genuine off of ebay. I didn't remember the exact price so I just looked it up, it was £74 so I was quite a bit over but still pricey none the less.Edited by: TimboChrisJ said:Timbo that's pretty shocking really. I have older cars on the drive with more than 3 times that mileage that haven't needed that much work. You have my sympathy.
However, one item caught my eye. Wheel bearing £120? Eh? Really? I've done more wheel bearings than I can recall, but I know I have never paid anything like that. Are these something special? Hand machined by Unicorns or something? That's staggering. For a mass producer of cars like Vx.
