It depends on 2 or 4 wheel drive -- totally different procedure for each. answer had to have bearings replaced on my 2000 (4wd dually) once and on my 2003 (4wd 2500HD) more recently. for both vehicles it required changing the entire front hub. bearings are sealed and come with the hub as a unit. be sure to chesck out what the torques are this is important as they are quit high !
It's a sealed unit with the hub. You have to replace the whole hub assembly.

No it`s sealed unit
More then likey it is either the left are right front wheel bearing that is bad.
Wheel bearing? Worn Brake pads?

Remove the tire and wheel from your Chevy Lumina. Remove the end of the axle. Remove the wheel bearing nut. Remove the wheel bearing seal and the wheel bearing. Reverse the process to install the new front wheel bearing.
You will need to remove the tire and wheel. Remove the axle end cap. Remove the wheel bearing seal. Remove the wheel bearing. Reverse the process to install the new will bearing.
It sounds like you have more probalem than wheel bearing. TAke it to a front end shop
