Depending on the vehicle, there is usually an inner and an outer wheel bearing and some are as easy as jacking up the problematic wheel, removing the hub cap, remove the grease cap, take out the cotter pin, remove the nut, wiggle the wheel and the outer bearing and seal will pop off. But, in a lot of cases, especially if the bearing has failed, the job will be more complex!
