Kyle is right, and I never had to do both bearing/assemblies at once in the front of my trucks, its usually one of the other. Pretty simple job, one you break her loose.

BTW.. Using Rockauto for reference you see that you have four choices:
Cheapo - what you use to sell the car 49
Raybestos Pro Grade which is okay if oyu want to roll the dice a little bit 69
Moog National - respected OEM 119 National Bearings are good bearings
SKF 129 You may say WHO!!!
SKF is a top of line precision bearing maker. Surprised they are in this business. They have great rep

Pay no attn to the stupid youtube vids.. for some reason they dont want you to know some basic things. Like how tight things are or can be
1. Break the hub nut loose with wheel on the ground
- Tighten it to about 100 ft lbs raised then torque to 180 wheel on ground
1a If spline is stuck, run nut out to end to protect axle and rap sharply with heavy hammer
2. Removing hub from spindle {knuckle}. It might come right out but learn term 'slide hammer' if it doesnt
You may need to draw the new hub in with the three bolts a turn or two at a time, each.
