Jack up the wheel to remove it, remove the axle nut and cotter pin. There are three bolts to remove, then tap and pry on the assembly to remove it from the spindle. Looking at the new one will show you where the bolts are.
When you install the new bearing, it is critical that you use a click-type torque wrench to tighten the axle nut. A typical value is from 180 - 240 foot pounds. Use the value listed on the instruction sheet that comes with the new bearing assembly. If you put the vehicle's weight on the wheel anytime the axle nut is not tightened to specs, the bearing will become permanently noisy.
As a point of interest, a lot of these GM replacement bearings cost considerably less with the ABS sensor installed. They can be used for replacements on non-ABS equipped cars at a lower cost than the bearings without the sensor. Weird, huh?
