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!
Begin by removing the tire and wheel. Remove the and of the axle. Remove the wheel bearing nut. Remove the wheel bearing seal and the wheel bearing. Reverse the process to install your new wheel bearing.
no need to replace wheel bearing unless the wheel bearing is worn out

Most front wheel drive bearing hubs can not be greased. --thats ridiculous, your wheel bearing HAS to be greased. you either buy it in a package pre-greased or you BETTER do it yourself ! especially front wheel drive. replacing a wheel bearing is a CHORE, why do it twice becasue you didn't grease it when you fixed it ?
No, you should not. You are either tightening the wheel bearing to tightly or too loosely or the bearing race needs replacing. Take the vehicle to a professional and see what is wrong.
Replacing a wheel bearing in your Chevrolet blazer will cost approximately $175 per bearing. You can save $125 by doing the work yourself.
Might be that the nut holding the wheel bearing needs tightening or that the wheel bearing needs replacing. Going to have to take it apart to get to the bottom of this one.
They very rarely need replacing, just adjusting
Rotor not usually necessary, but new hub is generally part of bearing now.
This may be your bushells or wheel bearing. It most likely isn't only in third gear but you only notice it at a higher speed because of the vibrations. I suggest tightening the wheel bearing or replacing the side bushells
the wheel bearing will wear out. worst scenario, is the whell will fall off causing considerable damage ,maybe even a wreck. can also cause bearing to get hot , and weld bearing race to axle stub,requiring replacement of this hub it is not a big or expensive job to have a wheel bearing replaced. the ABS sensor is not on the bearing and will not need replacing if you replace the bearings
I found this page with a decent step-by-step process to help guide me in replacing my LH Front Wheel Bearing Assy on my 99 GrandAM GT. It shows how to replace one on a Grand Prix, but they are extremely similar. http://www.paulstravelpictures.com/GM-Wheel-Bearing-Hub-Assembly-Replacement/index.html
