If you do a web search for golf mkv rear wheel bearing removal and refit that should be more than enough. As the scirocco is based on the mkv platform and shouldn't be much different I believe. The wheel bearing is contained in the hub. So a case of remove brake calliper and carrier. Next the disc which will give access to the hub. A new kit should contain a new hub, hub bolt and dust cover.
You'll need some correctly sized tools and preferably access to a ramp or pit as from what I've read it's rather difficult without. Should take about an hour.
