No, just replace the bearings and the race.
Did you replace the race? Did you fully pack the wheel bearings with the proper lube? Did you torque them correctly? I suspect you are not doing one of these things. You are doing something wrong or this would not be happening.Did you replace the race? Did you fully pack the wheel bearings with the proper lube? Did you torque them correctly?

If your wheel bearings have gone bad then you will have to replace the bearing ( cone ), the race ( or cup ), and the grease seal. The hub should not have to be replaced unless it was damaged as well as the spindle.

Incorrect packing of bearing grease or incorrect torque. Also make sure to replace the bearing race, as it may be scored. CORRECT ANSWER- you need to replace the knuckle and the wheel bearing
Drum brakes. The bearings are in the hub. There is an outer and an inner that fit into what is called a race. If you are not equipped to do the job have a auto shop do it for you. It is not an expensive job. But, if you want to do it, once you remove the rear hub by the large nut in the middle, a sort of lock washer, then a washer, then the bearing.If you have to replace the race you need a brass punch to remove it. Takes a little bit of work. The inner bearing comes out once you remove the seal, again there is a race also. You do need a special tool to get the new race in, and it can be a tough job if you have never done it before. If the front and rear race look good and there is no damage to them, they may be used again. But if there is damage, they must be replaced or they will burn the new bearings.
You will have to give more information to get a good answer. Two wheel or 4 wheel drive, front or rear, etc.,, What year is it? Front wheel bearings on the mid 90" should be easy to change. Just remove the wheel, remove the bearings and the races (will have to be pressed or knocked out of the hub) then replace the races, first, then the bearings. Put plenty of grease on them . You should replace the seals as well. On the 1999 and probably later, you will find that they have a "double set" of bearings for each wheel with only one bearing race. You will have to have the old race pressed out at a machine shop and the new one pressed in, again press the bearings and put in new seals. Will cost over $100 per wheel for the bearings and machine work in most places, plus the cost of the seals.
Remove the cap from the end of the hub. Inside, you'll find a large nut and a cotter key. straighten and remove the cotter key and remove the nut. The otter bearings will come out as you pull the rotor off. The inner bearings can also be removed once you pull out the seal. If you are having the rotors turned, you will need to drive out the race's. It is a good idea to go ahead and replace the bearings since your into it his far.
My advice to you would be a recommendation to see if an ASE instructor at your local community college can work with you on this, because replacing races and bearings. The short answer is that you'll take off the wheel, and take off the hub... then you'll remove the bearings, punch out the races with a hammer and race punch, and reinstall the new races... you can grind down the old races to use as drivers for installing the new ones, or use actual race drivers. It's very easy to get this wrong if you don't know what you're doing.
Yes. You should also replace the race at the same time.
Yes, they can need grease and freeze up, the individual rollers can fail, the race the bearing rides in can become worn.
Wear on either the bearings or race.
