Either. You can purchase the bearings alone which need to be pressed into the existing hub or you can just buy the hub with a new bearing which just gets bolted in.
I'd recommend the bolt in option, I did both my rears not so long ago and it's a snap.
Here's an image of the bolt in option:

Fantastic. I am stuck out here in WI, and my press is back in FL. Front right started making some noise, and I want to swap them before it becomes an issue.
I appreciate it guys...

Well rockauto was pretty cheap at like $52. However Autozone has them in stock local for $60. so to speed things up, I will get it from autozone.
Now, it looks from that pic that the bearing just bolts in from the back of the spindle, correct?
so all I need to do is remove the brake caliper/rotor, break the axle nut, undo the 4 bolts from the back side and slide the bearing out the front?
seems too easy. What's the catch?

$60.00? That's pretty cheap, dealers here want over 500 a piece.
Yup that's about it. The catch is that once you've removed the 4 bolts holding the hub in, it's stuck in there tighter than a (insert rude joke). I used a gear puller on the axle, it was quite effective.
