wheel bearing noise. SUPER BAD!

wheel bearing noise. SUPER BAD!
My 2003 Max is making horrible grinding noise from the front axle -- it can only be wheel bearings I am convinced at this point based on what I was able to see/inspect last night and based on what I read in numerous posts. It would seem they are a very high failure rate component on this particular gen?
My question for you all is:
do I need to replace the hub at the same time?
are there any other parts I should replace along with this at the same time?
The front struts are worn, I will likely do them at the same time.
Thanks for all your help in advance.

Don't know until it's apart, it needs to be inspected at that point and deemed good/bad by a competent inspector.
If it's super sloppy rocking back and forth when you lift the wheel, you'll probably need a hub.
are there any other parts I should replace along with this at the same time? Not unless there's other worn components. if there are, it's a good time saver to do the other stuff while it's torn apart. You can only pre-plan so much though, and taking wheels off isn't that hard.

Thanks for the reply. I came up empty handed for a sticky or DIY on bearing replacement for this gen. Anyone know where I might find this? Since a shop press is needed, would you recommend I just have a shop do it? I used to have a FSM downloaded for this gen Maxima but that hard drive crashed long ago. Anyone recall where that is available for download?
