Change both? Might as well whilst your at it? If ones gone other can't be far behind.

Jack the wheel up, get your hands on the wheel at 12 and 6 and check for play.
Front bearings will need to be pressed in, rear bearings are easier as you can just push them in.

Yea i changed the front one not so long ago, but i only did one side, hopefully just a rear one or two, so i can crack on and change it myself without the hassle of getting it pressed, will go out and check the wheels!

Jack the car up and spin the wheels by hand. A knackered wheel bearing will rumble like a bitch.
