95 pathfinder wheel bearings

[NJblack350z]

so i recently purchased a 95 pathfinder as my winter vehicle. its got 135xxx miles on it. i noticed some tire wear in the front so i bought it to get a simple alignment before the tires got ruined. they told me they couldnt even align it because the front wheel bearings were so loose. so the next project on my list is to replace the front bearings. any helpful hints or info on doing info on doing the bearings? should i replace both the inner and outers? i've never replaced bearings before....are any special tools needed? any help or info would be greatly appreciated. i've never worked on a pathfinder before but im not new to the nissan world. thanks in advance!

Try this link. Helped me out when I was repacking the wheel bearings on my 99Q. I am not sure how easy it is to neglect the bearings so much that they need to be replaced. Re-packing them may do the trick. The bulk of this job is in the labor, so if you can DIY, you can save some cash.
