Wheel Bearing Replacement
They say if your wheel bearings go out, you need to get the
replaced ASAP. Mine didn't go out, but I was troubleshooting
some mysterious noises that turned out to be upper controller
arm bushings
Take off your front wheel and jack up your car.
You need to pop off the wheel bearing cap. A nice 2X4 and crowbar
will do this without destroying your cap.

Ah, the chewy goodness inside.

Another Angle, this is important! See how, and what angle that
thing ?????????????? is on.It will need to go back on the same
way.

Now you can get a XX hex and unscrew that thing. Count how
many rotations you unscrew that thing.
Enlarge this pic, boy! those bearings sure don't look good.
In reality, they were fine, or at least not broken.

Then just repack the new ones, reassemble, and enjoy.
The rear ones are easier than the front ones, or so I'm told.
But I don't think I did them. So submit it, if you do it. Grab
your camera too.
