If your's is like mine, you can't change the bearings... you change out the whole hub assembly.
I hope they got their act together on the 2004's on up in the lighter weight trucks (3/4 ton vs 1 ton units)

You will need a 1 11/16 in a 3/4 drive. Loosen the nut before you lift the truck. You may need a breaker bar and an extension on the bar.

Like FastTaco I used a 1 3/4 socket.
