Noticed yesterday a grinding from fromy wheel and not spinning as long as it usually does also slight lateral play in it. Guessing the hub bearings?

All I can find is they're sealed. How do I know which ones to buy to replace?

Cheers

    More likely something in the brake pads.

    Tried that, taken them out of the equation. Wouldn't explain the play in any case

    You'll need to get the bearings out and have a look. They should have the bearing codes etched on them, or you'll have to measure them.

    Then most bearing shops/suppliers should have them.
