wheel bearings

i was driving down the road and my front right tire started vibrating really bad and was making a really loud clicking sound... i got it home jacked the front end up and the right front tire and wheel cylinder had a lot of play in it like maybe 3 inches or more... what do you guys think it is and if its the wheel bearing how would i replace it?

Welcome to FTE!!!

Sounds like a wheel bearing if the lug are tight. Is your truck 2 or 4 wd?
