for a 2.0?
the spline is different to a 1.4 drive shaft.
they aint worth 100quid, i got one from a scrappy, for 35 qud, took me 2hours tops to machine it to same as the mtech ones.

i got a astra gte hub, machined it down to fit the corsa bearing on, and a few other bits need machining so they fit right, and thats that. sorted. but its gotta be very acurate, as i found out to my cost 
got to be accurate to within 0.05mm

"Hockley" bearings require no maching of the hub, but the upright needs machining to accept the bearing, and the cost is more than getting some M-tech ones pressed in.
The reason they cost so much is they are CNC'd to fine tolerances.
The bearings last fine provided you do the castle nuts up tight enough and don't attack kurbs with the alloys.
V6 disks on a 4stud hub has nothing to do with the hub, unless it's a 5stud ones machined to fit, the disk itself is just redrilled and has a spigot rings put in the middle of it to centre it, the hub remains unchanged.

the bearings are fitted as a push/press fit.
the bearing inside diameter is 39.96mm the hub is machinend to 39.99mm, pressed on with a press.
