Default Front passenger hub assembly

Getting a droning sound I believe from the passe ger front, I think the pass side hub/bearing assy is the problem. I have replaced the driver side hub, and upper/lower ball joints a year ago. Would a good test be to turn the hub by hand and see if it grinds, catches on something or not spin freely?

Wheel bearings on these are fairly simple. Just make sure not to buy a cheap hub and bearing assembly. I believe there are some write ups on here that should help out. Also, there is Snuffy's video.

The old hub was grinding, new hub on as quiet as can be.

I've had mine off so many times between replacing both and pulling everything apart to do ***** joints twice, I can have the old bearing ripped off and the new one back on, Blazer back on all 4's, within 20 minutes, no lie... Took maybe 30 minutes last time I replaced a hub because I used a hydraulic lift at work and the lift was slower to get to chest level than just throwing a floor jack under the front :P

I have done both of mine and had them off to do axles and I could probably have it done in maybe 45 minutes to an hour. I doubt that I would be able to do it in 20 minutes that is for sure.
