Gotta pull the the wheel, loosen the spindle from the strut, back the axle out of the spindle, then drop the bearings out. Not for the faint of heart.

it needs to be replaced but..

my friend is volunteering to do it pretty cheap. Maybe 100 to 150 on the weekend. It sounds like a piece of grit or stone is stuck in the rotor and when we jacked it up with the wheels moving it groaned when we had the wheel turned all the way.
