repair procedure will vary some depending on your axle. 1500=dana 44. 2500=dana 60.
on both, the front wheel bearings are a sealed unit in the hub, so you get to replace the whole dern hub assy at about $200+ each. its also a pita as the hub rusts and seizes inside the knuckle and can be near impossible to get out. and to really top it off, you get to pull the axle out so be very very careful not to damage your seals down inside the tubes at the differential.
if i read your post right that bearings are falling out like rabbit turds, then you are need repair now.
see here.
