Default Wheel bearing replacement question

Anyone know what's all involved in replacing all 4 wheel bearings on an 03 stratus? When I drive I have some rumble feedback and sound which gets much worse when I make a rolling turn. Some places tell me you can press the new bearing into the knuckle and some say it's a bolt on hub assembly. I already know about the cv axel nut haha don't worry about that. Just wondering what needs to be done.

coupe, sedan, v6, 4c? if its a sedan v6 they are really easy, just the two main caliper mounting bolts, 3 torx bolts on the back of the bearing and the spindle nut. Thats it, no pressing no greasy mess. I would only do the fronts at first, because they are the ones that tend to go bad. If you have a jack you can lift up the front of the car and see if there is any play in the wheel and that will give you another clue as to which one may be bad. A sign will be movement if you put your hands at 12 and 6 o'clock and shake back and forth. There should be zero play. Hope this helps.

Ah that's right, these cars are all over the place with different parts. It's a 4c 2.4L sedan. That helps quite a bit, I'll take a look today and see what's up.
