Once source of leaks is the rubber tube that runs from the roof line to the rear hatch, and contains the rego plate light, rear window heater and locking circuits.

Front or rear, if on the car, you need a slide hammer device. This bolts onto the wheel studs, with a thick rod that's aligned to the axle. The heavy slide weight runs along the rod to a stop and eventually pulls the hub off. Its usually easier to pull the entire knuckle off.

The inside of the fusebox cover should tell you the location of all fuses.

if this is a 'East/West' motor then it will make it difficult, but if normal front/back motor you might have to take out Bonnet Lock Support Panel as well as the grille and take it out from the front.
