I have a loud wuwuwuwuwu sound coming with every rotation of the tire. I've also got an alignment issue with uneven wear on my front 2 tires. I'm nearly certain it's a wheel bearing. I've already replaced brakes and rotors, which needed replacing anyway. Also, the steering feels a little loose.

I think it would be easier to just replace the whole wheel hub assembly, rather than messing with the bearings. How do I do this?

That's not really your option. You have to deal with it whatever way it was designed and in your case, this one is pressed into the knuckle. There is no replaceable hub to change.

The entire knuckle has to be removed and then sent out to have the old bearing pressed out and a new one pressed in.
