Default Wheel bearing replacement? Need instruction (sorta)

Is there a right up on this anywhere to make my life easier or can anyone tell me how its done or the procedure, before i tear into it. It getting bad i just went to tighten the lugs on the rear and the drivers side wheels move about half inch back and forth and it pops when i take off turning left. Well if anyone can that would be appreciated if not then

yeah. 4 19mm bolt hold it on. only needs 80 ft-lbs when going back together. leave the steering unlocked so you can turn the knuckle

Slowpoke gave you the super short version.

hubs/bearings are non serviceable. you must replace the whole operation thusly:

Take off wheels, calipers and rotors. Don't forget to disconnect speed sensor. Then the 4 bolts he mentioned come out from the back of the spindle. Recommend massive amounts of PB - those rust on nicely.

The new hub installation is reverse of removal.

I guess i forgot to mention that it was the rear axle bearings. Sorry. But i got them done. The movement turned out to be the left rear LCA.

Rears are a pain in the ****. You had em done? good thing for that I say. pulling the axles and so forth is not what many would call a good time.
