If they are sealed bearings, you will need a press to get them out. If they are bolt in, just remove the brake pads/rotors, then the axle nut, then the bolts holding the wheel bearing in. Install in reverse order.
Its extremely hard to explain how to install front brake parts without some sort of diagram. Here is what you can do, go to your local library and you can print out the diagrams you need, copies are only about ten cents a copy.
Look at other side rear brake, if you can't transpose it in your mind, then stick a big mirror in front of the other side and take a photo of the brake image in the mirror ... hmmm, you may end up thinking like this after a while. I don;t know that that is a good thing;~).
good luck,
