Can't help you with the workshop manual. If it's the 1.5L you got hopefully its the 16v model. They had a short run of 16v twin cam engines in 97-98 and you could really feel the extra kw. Sadly in 99 they didn't feel so generous and went back to the lower output 1.5.

The wheel bearing in the drum are just a cone type bearing where you need to punch the cone out, then do up the nut with some pre-load similar to early Falcon front wheel bearing. The nut also is LH thread and you need to punch the end of the nut into the locking position when the preload is set.

Although it has a Mazda derived motor, it's more a Kia than a Mazda Quote:

Very easy to do, below is the image of all the components. Have you done front wheel bearings on a pre AU Falcon, because it is very much the same process. I have the workshop manual, just trying to find it so I can get you the instructions rather than writing them step by step.
And yes the vehicle is Kia not Mazda based. You should see Kia on the ID tag on the firewall. WB Festive Rear Wheel Bearing.JPG |

Hard to scan as the book is thick on the scanner.
Hopefully you can make it out... WB WF Festiva Rear Wheel Bearing Replacement.pdf |

12v, 57kW and 115Nm if I recall? That's what mine had. Shame they never kept it till the end - drove the 98 model with the HO engine and it bloody flew compared to mine. 16% more power and torque

B13 (1.3) and B15 (1.5) were the letters they used. It would also say it on the rego papers as their CC equivalent.

That seems odd? What state are you in? In NSW rego papers state engine capacity.
