Take off wheels, Take off rotors, calipers, and caliper brackets, remove big center axle nut, remove 4 bolts behind hub, tap on the axle with a hammer till it comes loose, hit on the bearing and it will slide off

It all should be nuts and bolts buy a replacement bearing hub, so that you can be sure but i am pretty sure any one with common sense and some tools can do this auto zone or advance auto parts have loaner socket sets to remove axle nut the rest is small sockets.start by loosening the axle nut while tire is on the ground then remove tire and disconnect,ball joints and tie rod then remove the caliper so you can remove the spendle, in the back you should see three bolts that hold the bearing remove them and you might have to use a chisel to separate the bearing from spendle reverse installation

Whenever I drive I continue to hear a loud roaring noise. Is this wheel bearing problem or is it something else

Quite often it is a bad wheel bearing, a lot of chevy's are notorious for them. A wheel bearing will usually create a growling type noise that is more prominent at around 40-60MPH. If its a wheel bearing you should notice a change in pitch when turning in one direction, for example if you have a bad right side wheel bearing it will be noisy driving straight ahead, then get louder when turning LEFT. If you turn right the noise softens. The weight distribution of the front end will be greater on the right side when turning left. Of course the works in the opposite direction. If the noise remains constant going straight and turning it could be a bad tire. Visually check the tire for pressure and bulges in the side wall. You didn't mention what type or model vehicle you have, because in some cases the rear wheel bearing could be causing the noise.

Vibration/Humming/Grinding noises when stopping or turning left.

when turning left vehicle distributes weight to right front wheel bearing causing load. since u describe a noise in right front while driving straight i would suspect failed right front wheel bearing. see if your noise changes/goes away while turning right that should tell u 4 sure

Right turn loud groaning

I would say you have bad wheel bearings on the front. More noise turning right means the left is REALLY bad.

Very loud "rubbing " sound when driving only

you did damage to the wheel bearing i bet it sounds like a airplane sound. also if you steering wheel is off 7"then have front end aligned because this will destroy the tires and they will make noise.

Steering creeks when turning left or right. front wheel noise.

My advise is when u get a humming noise when banking left or right. Its beter to change both left and right wheel bearing and ball joints. Cause if u think about it those parts are put on at the same time . So if u think about it they have the same where in Terre . left or right hope this helps you.
