The wheel bearing are just bolt on sealed units. Super easy to do and quite intuitive (remove brake caliper and rotor, remove big CV nut - the hard part if it's frozen) and unbolt from caliper. You do want a torque wrench to set the CV bolt back on correctly since it sets the preload on the bearing. It shouldn't take more than a couple of hours. These are technically sealed units, but my experience has been that the grease typically dries out and you can just replace the grease if you catch it before there is any damage to the balls and races. In the two I've done one clearly needed a new bearing (the races were trashed) but I had let it go for a while, and the other I had planed to replace but the aftermarket replacement part wouldn't fit so I just tried re-greasing even though it was looking a little rough and it's been quiet for about 10k so far.
