First you will need to buy the bearing and the seals and be able to get the old bearing pressed out and new pressed in. Now what you do is first loosen the axle nut now loosen the front wheel and then jack up that wheel and remove the tire. Now remove the brakes and then the tie rod end. Now loosen and remove the bolt for the lower ball joint and loosen and remove the strut bolts. Now remove the knuck and then have the old bearing pressed out and new pressed in see pic below.

Before we get too far, this really isn't D-I-Y friendly.

The wheel hub needs to be removed, then the bearing gets pressed out and a new one pressed back in.

It is a 2 hour job for the pro, when it goes well.
