Default Changing front wheel bearings

I have an 1987 Toyota 4Runner Sr5, Manual transmission, 4wd. So, I'm only assuming the my wheel bearing is out. When I'm driving I hear this kind of loud noise sound that sounds like it's coming from the front. I just would like the help of you guys on how to change the wheel bearing. Like I said, I'm not even sure if this is the problem, but I would like to change it either way. What are some other things that might cause a loud "clunking" when driving. Sort of sounds like the axles are giving out, but I'm pretty sure that's not it.

Anyone know a guide to do this? Or can I find it in an FSM? Let me know! Thanks everyone!

Default RE: Changing front wheel bearings

Wheel bearings dont USUALLY give too much of a noise. They are usually found and changed during brake pad changes. PLUS your problem doesnt sound like wheel bearings, but need more info. Like when exactly does it happen?

Also really if you have to ask how to change wheel bearings, you problem shouldnt but here is the link. Its one of the most easy jobs, just takes a little time dont forget the grease.
