My 2005 Wagon R LXi was making a lot of humming noise which pointed out the issue in the bearing. On inspection, I could locate the issue in both front wheel bearing and one rear wheel bearing. I thought to do it DIY. Steps involved:
1. Break out (loose) the axle nut by removing the protective cover over the axle nut.
2. Remove the brake drum but jacking up the vehicle.
3. Remove the circlip over the bearing.
4. Take the brake drum to the hydraulic press along with new bearing.
5. Hydraulic press operator will remove out the old bearing and install the new one.
6. Follow the steps 4 to 1 in reverse order to put the whole thing back.
DONE!
