I presume we are talking about a car here, rather than a van.
Firstly if you've not already done it, slacken and remove the centre hub nut. (It'll be tight and depending on the type of hub it'll either have a split pin to remove or have a tab on the nut to tap out). Then remove the track rod from the hub then remove the supension strut lower bolts from the hub. Then slacken the lower balljoint pinch bolt then lift the hub free.
Then remove the circlips from inside the hub then you'll need to press the bearing out (A hydraulic press is definatly the best tool for the job - failing this take it to a garage to press the old one out and the new one in).
I think then reassembly is the reverse of dismantling.
