i have alittle side to side movement in my rear hope xc wheel, i assum ethis is bearin play and i'll need ew bearings. Its the same movement as when cones need tightening. Is there anything else it can be?
Is it an easy job to replace the bearings any tips etc?

Probably is bearings but there's an outside chance that it's a snapped axle
Not to bad a DIY job but you need to whack it a lot harder than you think you'll need [or want] to

Bearing play or Worn Axle.
Had the same problem with mine a while back. Replaced two bearings but it was the axle that was worn, were one of the bearings sat.
