maloo top bush replacement

[vxr2010]

Hi as above , maloo ve2 ls3 , the rear nearside top bush in the knuckle is worn , it passed the mot but i don’t like to leave things if they should be working correctly , any pointers as how to do it , does the whole hub need to come off or can it be done in situ , does a vxr8 driveshaft have a nut in the hub to remove or is it the same as a monaro a series of bolts , any other tips please

sorted . i left knuckle/hub in situ , i used a 12mm threaded bar and nuts plus a few sockets to push the old bearing out , it needed a light tap with a hammer to get it moving , same process for getting it back in , a much easier route than taking it all off to press it out , similar process to changing monaro rear wheel bearing , no need to take hub off as too much risk around bolts nuts and possible damaged brake line issue
