wheel bearings 2001 sportage

How do you change the front wheel bearings on a 2001 sportage? It's out of warranty ( too many miles). There doesn't seem to be a lock nut like on most cars.

2wd models should be just a matter of removing the spindle nut and then replacing the bearings and races. 4wd models will probably require a trip to the machine shop to have the old bearings pressed out and the new ones pressed in. Typically you remove the steering knuckle and give the new bearing to the machine shop for installation.
