Here's link on replacing them. If you have a NAPA with a machine shop you could remove the rotors get them checked to see if salvageable and need turned and buy new bearings/seals and have them reinstall and pack them with grease so all you would need to do is reinstall.

Are you sure it's the wheel bearings that are squeaking?
The '98-'00 4x4 Ranger front hub bearings are not serviceable. You will need to replace the hub/bearing assembly as a whole.

IIRC you have also been having issues with the front hubs failing to engage. So you might also consider replacing the original PVH hubs with the AVM manual lockers while you are at it.

I believe the transfer case motor is bad
also the hoses in the hubs are rotted and the lines corroded

I actually have the front drive shaft out right now! But yeah, I dont think its engaging. Been meaning to get around to fixing it, but since I have never really had the need its been on the way way way back burner.
