The bearings are pressed one-piece hub assemblies. That I can tell they are not available anymore, so you have to find a shop to press the hubs apart and repack them.
I just hope your wheel bearings last longer than mine. The first one I changed on my suburban lasted LESS than 30k miles from installation to the built in abs sensor nuisance tripping the abs any time the breaks were applied and wheel speed dropped below 7mph....the frustrating part is O'Reilly only warranties the bearing for 1 year so I have to eat the cost to replace it early.
