wheel bearing do it yourself question???

Hi I need to know if anyone has step by step instructions on a Do it yourself pictorial on Front wheel bearings.. I know how to do them but I never ripped past changing brakes so far on my c5. I did them on my camaro last, and just wanna know if its similar to 3rd gen camaro bearings....

with your wheel on try pulling and pushing on the top of the wheel. if there is movement then you need a new bearing. On the track that is he easiest way to check.

replacing is easy with good instructions...
