That's how my front wheel bearing sounded when it failed a couple weeks ago. Like the truck is chewing gravel.
I found these videos recently, but I'm not sure how accurate they are for you.

The second one appears to be for an older Tacoma with drum brakes, but both show a pressed in bearing that you have to press out.
**Edit to add that if you look in the FSM under the Drive Shaft section, there is a file for doing what those videos show. I looked on RockAuto and don't see any hub assemblies for the rear that would be bolt off/bolt on like the front.
