If I remember rightly you need to jack the front up, take the centre cap off, then the hub centre (5/6 small bolts and a snap ring) then there is a retaining ring held in by 2 small screws. Take that off and then the wheel bearing is adjusted by turning the big centre ring (that is the terrano equivilent of a centre nut) with either the correct tool or gentle us of a centre punch !!!! Try to follow the manual for torque settings then put it all back together again :clap:clap..... I am sure someone far better than I will point you to the right place in the manual or on this site.... Also depends on fixed or locking hubs, nines fixed so cannot comment on the other sort

If you look in the 'download' section from the main home page there is one about removing the hubs and discs.... shows the bits in there

Use a decent size six allen head socket to get the hub bolts off with, and be very careful not to lose or misplace anything as it only goes back together properly one way !
