Timken is it. This is a job you don't want to do a second time. While your in there think about anything you can change out while it's apart. U-joints, rotors, ball joint, those kinds of things.

G-O-S-P-E-L!!!!!

Friggin PAIN IN THE BUTTOUKOUS to get to all that stuff!!!!!! I'm fixing to jump into this myself.... although.... far as I can remember from the last time I was in there, the wheel bearings are unitized with the hubs.... the bearings aren't independently serviceable.

Our 99's are all one piece but I'm not sure about his 02, someplace in those years they changed that.
