how to replace wheel bearings in a chevy corporate 10 bolt front axle??

ok so i know that there is a inner and outer bearing to replace on both sides but i dont want to tear into it just yet cause ive never done it before and i only have a rough idea what to expect whats inside my hub when i take it apart to get to them so a diagram or a step by step kidna deal would be great thanks.

piece of cake man, you have to buy the socket tho, and your gonna need a new rear seal. pop the caliper off, pop the lockout, take off a nut, a washer, and another nut, and pull the hub off. beat out the races the old bearings rode on, tap the new ones in tightly (so you cant fit a fingernail between) slide the bearings in, tap the seal on, install the hub. i tighten them pretty tight, than back the first nut off until the rotor spins freely, install the washer, and crank down the second nut.
