Very growly at 40-45pmh on my Milano (161k miles)...thought it was the rear end but buddy said to see what happens to noise in turns. Well, growl goes away in right turns and gets louder in left turns. Can I assume front wheel bearings or something in the rear amiss?
I knew I should have stuck with Fiats!

You will need several "special" tools to do the job yourself. Visit http://www.users.on.net/~craigf/ and click on the "tools page". There are 4 tools in clickable green color that are needed for the job.
So you have to either find the original AR tools (very difficult) or fabricatre your own or find generics that suit (hub puller). You will then need the workshop manual to go through the procedure. This has surely been covered before so do a keyword search especially in the old forum. You will get the procedure, hints and tips!

hi,
i did my rear bearings on my 75 a little while ago and its not that hard, just be well prepared,
get a good puller to push the bearing through the hub
and use a proper tool to undo the retaining rings
drop me an email, i can help there if you have the non castelated retaining ring.
also a really long bar to undo the 36mm hub nuts. dont forget one has a backwards thread (i cant remember which!). i used a 3/4 inch drive socket after breaking my 1/2 inch stuff.
have fun

You can also use big sockets and allthread to press the new bearing in.
An impact wrench makes the hub nut easy.
