There is rumbling/humming noise(still cant determine which side yet) when running above 40mph. not sure if its the tire or wheel bearing. Im wondering if there is a way of checking which is causing the noise.
is there special tool I need to pull the bearing out of the hub?

make sweeping turns to both sides (loading the bearings)...they get louder when loaded...
that will point you in the right direction of which one(s) is(are) bad...
I also get louder when I'm loaded

Could be DIY...
You'll either need to remove the entire "knuckle" and take it to a shop to have them press out the bearing. Or, buy a HubShark ($300?) and you can press the bearing out without removing the knuckle. I've never done one, just going by what I've read here.... Good luck.
