The Bentley Porsche service manual describes the procedure (with pictures).
IT is pricey around $95.00 but for general service and maint. it is about all that is available. It describes the process and tools well enough that even a novice should be able to do the task.

I suggest that as a first step you purchase the Bentley service manual.
Then you have a means of reference for not only wheel bearing replacement but many other service maint. procedures.
Then after reading,up on an issue (such as wheel bearing replacement) you will have a better idea of if you are capable of doing the job or if you need to hire it out.

The other thing is to be sure it is a wheel bearing you are hearing and not something else. Sucks to spend money and do work and replace parts to find out you didn't fix the problem.
