Direction Please Front Wheel bearing

I am a loyal 6.0 liter Forum guy that has been helped many times with diesel repairs. But at the 135K mile mark, I am looking at some front end routine maintenance. I need a forum that can give me some advice.

A sample question is, how would I know if one of the sealed front wheel bearings is going out. How hard is it to change? etc.

IF someone has some advice,, Great,, if I need to go to another FTE Forum,,, pls send me in the right direction.

Thanks

Talking wheell bearing

yo little bro had bearing prob on freeway when it went out the mechanics told me that the sensor for your abs is in line with the center of your brahe disc when the bearing start to have a little play in then it throws the sensor off and u get abs warning light on thats one way to tell the other is to get the tire off the ground those hubs are huge and they wont move unless tire is free hope this helps
