Must have missed the Tech Article section:
4wd Hub/Bearing Assembly Replacement
You cannot replace just the bearings in the unitized hub/bearing assembly. The rest is covered in the post above. The difficulty of the job depends on what you have available to you in terms of tools as well as experience. I have it down to under 30 minutes to swap a unitized front hub on pretty much any GM vehicle. Having an air impact, air chisel, and a good 3-jaw puller (in case the splined CV shaft doesn't want to release from the bearing assembly) make things go a lot faster.
