97 Dodge Stratus ES 2.4L Rear Driver Side Wheel Bearing?

Can anyone tell me the specifics on changing a wheel bearing for this type of vehicle. I am mechanically inclined, but have never done this type of project before. Any estimates on time for this project. Special tools needed? Just a quick run down of how this is done would really be helpful...or should I just go get a Haynes manual and have at it? Any comments would be much appreciated.

With the rear of the vehicle jacked up off the ground, remove left/rear wheel. Remove brake drum (it just %26quot;knocks%26quot; off). Chisel and discard the rear hub retaining nut cap. Remove large hub %26amp; bearing retaining nut. Remove hub %26amp; bearing assembly. Install new hub %26amp; bearing assembly. Torque hub retaining nut to specification (you'll have to look up this spec. It's very important). Replace drum. Re-install wheel and tire assembly. Torque wheel nuts to 95 to 100 ft-lbs. Hope this helps.

If your mechanically inclined like you say remove the wheel and then the drum or rotor whatever the case may be and you should be able to tell by looking at it.

I've removed them before along with a thousand others but every things different.Don't remember right off but if your inclined it don't take long to figure it out.
