2000 Dodge 1500 2WD V8 5.9l 141k miles
Got a grinding noise which I pinpointed to bad front wheel bearing, not sure which side yet. This model and year has the sealed units. It has the rear wheel abs. Here a link to the part:

My questions: I found a few other posts on this newsgroup about similar issues. What I am unclear about is the actual replacement procedure. There is one big nut holding the hub assembly in the steering knuckle. Is it as simple loosing the nut? Should I then be able to pull the hub assembly out? Will I need a hub puller? I don't have to take the steering knuckle out, do I? Will I need a press to put the new hub assembly into the steering knuckle?
I guess the decision I want to make is between doing it myself or bringing it to the shop. I just replaced the ball joints and tie rod ends myself, now this. I hope after this my front suspension is good to go for another 100k miles.
Thanks in advance. Axel
