Couple of answers/suggestions.
First do a couple of searches on this site. Most of the cautions about the rear hub apply to front too.
The axle nut gets torqued to 123-152 ft lbs (use higher side figure for old nuts). Do not take off, or torque on, with the wheel mounted. must be done in the air.
Don't think you have to undo the lower ball joint if you're not going the hubtamer route. I seem to remember Beav suggesting taking the three bolts holding the arm to the lower part of the knuckle loose (again search).
Also, if not using hubtamer will need a new alignment when finished.
Double check the seals. When I did my rear bearing I found carparts.com and others listed the wrong parts. Only local source that had the correct listing was NAPA. I don't work there - YMMV.
Haven't done the job myself, just things I seem to remember
