Answer 1

Which ones, the front or back, or the inside or outside bearing. If it is the front outside bearing just jack the car up, I take off the wheel and tire, then take off the small cap, remove the cotter key, and loosen the nut, they are usually only finger tight. You should be able to get the bearing out easily, unless it has seized. Then I have had to cut them carefully out with a torch. When you put the new one in use wheel bearing grease and a new cotter pin. You want the nut only tight enough so that when you try to wiggle the wheel it will feel tight. I usually tighten the nut slightly with a channel lock pliers then back it up slightly until I find the cotter pin hole.
