Default How to change front wheel bearings?

Hi, my front driver side wheel bearing is making noise. Mechanic told me it is going to be around 500$ to change, I rather spend this money on a steering dumper for my bike and do the job myself. Does anyone have a how to or .pdf file on how to do it?
Thanks in advance

I have a Toyota Tundra and I am fixing to replace both front bearings. You are probably saying big deal.. Well the deal is that the front of our 2nd GS is put together the same as the Tundra. Look at the two links. I will be doing a write up over there when I get the 4 pin socket.

When I replaced mine I took the hub off the car and took it to a local garage with the new bearing, they pressed it out and installed the new one for $50 I think, if it was even that much.
