Take wheel off then take brake assembly completely off (hanger and caliper). You are going to need a tork bit set to take the wheel bearing off. There will be some holes in the bearing assembly to get to the bolts and there should be three tork bolts to take out and then you will have to take the nut off of the half shaft and the whole assembly should come off.

you will have to replace the whole hub assembly, and it usually cost just under 80 bucks for each wheel. I would suggest, if it is in your budget, go ahead and replace both driver and passenger front wheel bearings.
