i have purchased a new wheel bearing hub and need instructions on how to change it myself. I do not have the money to take it to the shop. What tools do I need? How hard is this to change

THis is an involved process that requires access to the differential, the removal of the rear brakes and the axle needs to be removed. Because of that, I strongly recommend getting a repair manual with step by step instructions and pictures to help identify parts. For me to try to explaine it via the internet allows too much room for error.
