How do you change the left front wheel bearing on a 93 caravan?

Brakes were worn out on left side, and bearing seems to be making noise.How do you change the left front wheel bearing on a 93 caravan?on a 93 caravan it is a unserviceable bearing witch means that you can not repack the bearing, you need to replace it. to do this you need to press the bearing out of the hub. if you havent done one its pretty difficult and you may not want to do this on your own. the ball joint will need to be removed from the knuckle, the CV shaft needs to come out and you need a special tool to press the bearing from the hub. you may need to take it to a pro.How do you change the left front wheel bearing on a 93 caravan?well its a good habit 2 do bearings when u do brakes since u have it all apart anyways,remove tire..remove ur brake caliper,do this by removing the 2 hex or normal bolts attached on the backside of the caliper...remove the center cap on ur disk brake...remove the locking ringor cover by removing the cotter pin(u will c a nut bhind that)remove the nut and the bearing will b exposed 2u...turn the nut off and ur bearing is next...give ur disk brake a pull with 2 hands and everything should just drop out 4 u...b sure 2 grease it all up b4 u put it all back together and set ur bearing so that when u spin the disk brake that it travels freely...adios..
