Looks like I might have a failing hub bearing on the front passenger side. Gets hot, (90+ C on a run) and though most of the heat seems to come from the brakes, there is still a difference in temperature rise between the two sides with the brakes removed (run at 2000 rpm in 2nd gear jacked up with the wheel off and the other wheel lashed to a front towing eye.). Hub has noticable run-out wobble too.
AFAIK this car (Daihatsu Skywing) is a Taiwan only model so its of course undocumented, but unlike similar Daihatsu models (Charade) for which I have workshop manuals, the hub seems to have what is known in American as a captive rotor. (The brake disk is inboard of the hub)

There are a few Youtube videos ont nyet showing bearing and or disk replacement for captive rotor versions of the Honda Accord, and it looks a real PITA.
On these, if successful, you seem to end up with the bearing in an inner hub or carrier, which is replaced as a unit. I’d guess this won’t be available for the Skywing.
So my questions for OBH are
Am I correct in thinking it uses "captive rotors "?
If I can get the bearing carrier off, could just the bearing be replaced?
( I’m thinking I could maybe take it somewhere with a press to get it done, assuming I can get the bearing, which has a chance of being a standard, interchangeable component used in other things)
