Had a recent snowstorm, almost spun out twice. Noticed bad grinding the next day. Tried to drive to the store, tire is toed in at top and rubbing inside the wheel well. Got home and took the tire off to take a look, tire moved in all directions very freely. Not sure which part needs replacing.

Yep, it sounds like the wheel bearing hub needs to be replaced which is common. here is a video on how to walk you through the steps on a similar vehicle (the steps are the same) with instructions in the images below to show you how on your car.

I don't think you need the puller. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.
