'03 GXE Front Wheel Bearing Question

Hi
I need to change the driver's front wheel bearing.
Can anyone offer any hints before I get started?
Thanks,
Steve

im not sure about that exact car, but unless you have an air hammer, big cutoff wheel, or a press, probably not. the issue comes in with the bearing race that sits on the spindle itself where the axle goes in. its very difficult to make a hammer work with nothing to really strike against. maybe someone can chime in whos done it on this very car?
