Default Passenger side wheel bearing

I'm new to the whole front solid axle and I have hub play. It's auto 4x4 any specialty tools I need or just pop of the calliper pull that cap off, snap ring and go from there. I know on newer dodges the rear axle you need a special socket with four prongs or so. And tips are appreciated

I have both hubs off I finally bought the socket I needed but the guy who previously went in there did not have it because the hub bolts were damn loose. I assume the first nut is to get rid of end play and then the second nut is tightened quite well? If you have a torque spec or and advice that'd be great

Tighten to 120-40 while turning hub than back off about 1/3 turn, you want .001-.008 end play roughly.
