Possible wheel bearing?

[burnmw]

sounds all like a wheel bearing chap.

check heat differences from drivers to passenger...if its humming that bad I would expect it to be roasting

Had a quick feel after I got back from work and couldn't really feel any heat, except when I inadvertently caught the brake disc

Anyway, there is some 9-3 play actually on the passenger side. So I've undone all the bolts ready to whip it off first thing in the morning and nip it to the garage to swap the bearing. Only thing is, I forgot to undo the hub nut...

So, what's the best way of undoing the hub nut, without anything done up? I'm thinking, do up the pinch bolt/ball joint pinch bolt, put the wheel back on, put it in to gear (5th?) and sit it on the floor, would that enable me to undo it without the brakes on?
