You may want to renew both the bearings. They are the same front and back. I asked a main dealer for an exploded diagram of the relevant part with part numbers. This was e-mailed to me and made the job easier. best to renew the seals as well, the diagram will show which ones.
When you renew the inner and outer bearings, just look at the colour of the spacer and adjust the end float to suit. Mine was a blue one so it was 0.175-0.250mm. It's in the Haynes manual (section 9/2), this works for a Puma as well as the bearings (LRSTC4382, £47 each original LR) are the same. Don't forget to order a new nut (LRRFD1000000), the old one will be severely dented when turned over. You'll need the seal, LRFTC4785 or cut one, as I did if you forget. When you pack the bearing with grease (messy job), use CV-2 synthetic grease. Don't buy sh*tpart, although their seals seem ok. Hope this helps, Merlin |

It's a 1990 defender or still a Land Rover
 So it has probably still the double nut system and no spacer between the bearings. Roel
