Unit Bearings can't really be rebuilt. Only replaced. I've heard of people taking the hub out and splitting the case and regreasing the bearings then putting it back together but I've never done it myself.

You can service them if they are still in good condition. Do you have a 2wd or 4wd? Welcome to guzzle's 4x4 Needle Bearing Maintenance Web Page Go to that page for a how-to on the 4wd bearings.
