Front wheel bearing?

Getting a low hum coming from what seems to be the front passenger wheel. It seems to quiet down when making a right turn and gets louder when turning left especially at higher speeds. If it is a wheel bearing(my guess), what kind of job is ahead of me. My other vehicle is a 1999 ZR2 Blazer and the hub/bearing is all one part with the wheel studs and anti-lock brake sensor. Pretty simple to change out.
I have tools so no worry there. Just looking for some FYI's/tips before I tear into this.

Its a pretty straight forward job. You are going to have to pull the front hub off, you can leave the lower ball joint, but you will have to get the front one apart. Once the hub is off the truck its just a matter of removing the seals/snap ring and pressing out the bearing. You will need a substantial shop press. I bought a 20 ton press specifically for this and was hanging on the bottle jack lever to get enough force. Hardest part was getting the hub stable in the press. Unless you already have a press, I would just pull the hub and bring it to a shop to have them swap the bearing.

Thanks for the heads up. Will be tackling this soon before the Ohio winter sets in!

Check out my build thread, I replaced both of mine myself. I used a 12 ton harbor freight press and I didn't have to hang on the arm. I also used a harbor freight 3-jaw puller with some success, though I ended up breaking one in multiple places. Definitely take your time to make sure it's stable in the press. Taking it to a shop is a good idea too, definitely alot easier.

I've taken a few to a shop now and so far haven't regretted it. Of course in my case, there are a dozen fairly slow shops within a 10 minute walk for me.

Did you replace you ABS ring and retainer, or did you re-use? I just had a rear bearing go out and fortunately I had my spare set of axles from before my axle swap, but I would like to try replacing those as well. I don't want to buy new retainers and ABS ring though.

Bearings

Where do you take the hub to to have the bearings on a 05 replaced? A repair shop or a machine shop? Do you need to pack the bearings with grease before you take it to them? Thanks.

most competent automotive shops will have a big press. Don't take it to jiffy lube or one of those abysmal places like that.

A repair garage frequently doesn't want to do piecework like that though - they'll say something about liability and try to get you to bring the truck to them so they can charge you for the whole job.

In my experience, machine shops are used to driveway monkeys who just lack that one critical tool and are happy to help out.

Is the 05 also a press-fit bearing or is it in a carrier? If they went to a carrier design, then you don't need any special tools.

Bearing

Got it done. Took it to a local machine shop to have it pressed off and new one on. Much cheaper. Different set up then I've ever seen but not a bad job. I found it odd that the brake line to the caliper was rigid tubing so make plans to tie up and secure the caliper. Amazon had the best price on the part. Mine was a bearing module or bearing hub, depending where you look. Thanks for your inputs.

@infamousRNR and I have two videos that would help anyone accomplish this job. Our Upper Balljoint Replacement video would be a good tutorial to show you how to remove the steering knuckle and get it back on. Our Manual Hub Conversion Part 2 video is a good tutorial to show you how to accomplish the required press work.
