2003 4x4 Excursion Front Hubs - Help

I have a 2003 Excursion 4x4, 7.3L, and I just found my right front wheel so loose that I can move the hub assembly without the wheel on. This is for the wheel bearing/hub assembly, not the locking hub. I have gone through 11 pages of posts to find a reference for the repair with no luck, and the search function is not working for me. Does anybody have a post location (page #) I can look at, or just a list of the steps I need to do? Can these bearings be replaced/repacked, or does the whole assembly need to be replaced?
Hopefully, I won't lose my entire weekend. Thanks for your help.

Its my understanding that you have to replace the whole assembly. You will probably have to register to see the link the click on job diagram on the right hand side.

Use the needle lube write up to see how he takes the hub off.
I have over a yr on cheapy eBay hubs with no issues yet.
