Squeeking brakes ???

I noticed a slight squeak when first appling the brakes
Ah a bit of maintenance needed obviously the anti squeal shims need some anti seize grease
Did the front,started the back when I touched the off side wheel and noticed slight movement ,wheel bearing ??
I removed the wheel and sure enough the bearing was shot .
The manual sayes it it easier to get at the inboard circlip with susspension unit removed ,I removed the wishbone from the strut and the strut fell down ,the rubber had become “unbonded” from the top flexible mounting and from the look of it it had happened years ago .Was I lucky or what .
Remove the outboard shaft and bearing and found the shaft is u/s the outer bearing had partially seized and the shaft is down 0.030ins
I shall finish the offside and the check the nearside
