First make sure the wheel bearing is bad:
Raise car, put on stands. Grasp tire and push/pull both horizontally and vertically, if any movement then possible wheel bearing, ball joint, tie rod, control arm bushing.
Check CV boots for any signs of leakage or cuts/rips in rubber boot.
Bearing on Toyota Corolla is pressed in, you must remove the knuckle and take to shop, have old bearing pressed out, new bearing pressed in.
If you remove knuckle yourself, you can save yourself a load of money, you must remove brake caliper, bracket, outer tie rod, CV axle, strut, lower ball joint, to get knuckle out.
Get the replacement bearing from Toyota parts.
