Sounds like you need a front axle actuator. This actuator bolts to the side of the front differential housing. It is electrically engaged. You can purchase them online starting at about $40
The front wheel bearing is a hub and bearing assembly. To remove you will....
1. Remove the tire
2. Remove the axle nut. You can put a punch in the fins of the rotor to keep the assembly from turning while you rmove the nut. You can can do the same thing when you torque the axle nut.
3. Remove the caliper and rotor.
4. Unplug the abs sensor if equipped.
5. Remove the three bolts that hold the hub to the knuckle.
6. Rmove the hub.
If you need torque specs let me know and i'll get them for you. It is absolutely critical that you torque the axle nut to the proper spec!
The hub, bearing, and ABS sensor are a single unit on this vehicle. You need to remove the wheel, brake rotor & caliper [don't disconnect the brake hose from the caliper, just support it out of the way] and then remove the large nut that holds the axle shaft in the hub assembly. Once you have all this loose or removed you'll find that the hub is held on with 3 fairly large capscrews that come in from the backside of the steering knuckle that the hub attaches too. Assembly is just the reverse of the process. Make sure you tighten all the bolts and nuts securely with a torque wrench [I don't have the torque spec's here] I apply threadlocker to all of these bolts as they are vital to safety. I only use OEM hubs on these as I've had the best luck with them and the ABS sensors inside of them.
