okay just for grins and giggles, this is how I decide on wheel bearing noise.
Get to the speed you can hear the noise, then shift the steering wheel from side to side to 'load' the bearings. If you hear it louder when 'loading' one side or the otherthe problemis probably the wheel bearing.
There are special tools required to pull the bearing out of the hub, and remove the inner race from the spindle.
