Front Wheel bearing
While getting my tires changed, the guy said, we shall not do any wheel alignment, as there was lots of play on my front two wheels.
12-6 o'clock
9-3 o'clock
both revealed quite a lot of play.
He suggest me to change the wheel bearing.
Is this a DIY project?
Is this the part

What else is required in terms of parts to be purchased?
Cheers

I would just pull it, repack it and tighten it back to spec to see if the play goes away before spending cash on new bearings. The bearings are relatively cheap though.
You can usually remove the seal without damage if you're careful. If you botch the seal though, just buy a whole new kit.
I'm sure there's a diy here if you search.
