How to change, no money, tell me degree of difficulty I feel like I can do this I cannot afford to pay someone any special tools needed I think the bearing and hub are the same part I am I correct about that is it just nuts and bolts and retainer washer or is their more to it?

Raise and support vehicle. Remove wheel assembly. Remove and suspend brake caliper. DO NOT hang by flexible brake hose. Remove caliper anchor plate. Remove brake rotor. Remove hub snap ring. See Fig. 2. Pull and remove hub lock. Remove snap ring and thrust washers from axle shaft. See Fig. 3. Disconnect ABS wheel sensor harness connector, harness and harness routing clips (if equipped).
Remove 4 lock nuts from behind hub. Remove hub and wheel bearing assembly. Hub and wheel bearing assembly is a slip fit design and should not require a puller to remove
you need snapring pliers and a sharp pic for one snap ring removal. Make sure to lube the oring and install a non metallic washer between two metal thrust washers.
