Good afternoon.

There is a hub bearing at the wheel that supports the axles assembly. It is a common failure for this noise.

It is not serviceable and if bad needs to be replaced. The brake dust from the brakes gets into the bearing and causes the failure.

The hub bearing is replaceable by removing large nut on wheel?

That is correct. The wheel needs to be removed.
The brake caliper and rotor need to be removed.
The axle nut needs to be removed
The ABS connector needs to be released
The three attaching bolts need to be removed.

The hub assembly can be removed.
