Good news, Bad news.......
Based on comments from the Dealership Mechanic who replaced the front wheel bearings on my 2000 a couple years ago , the 2002 and later cars use a bolt on bearing that is much easier for owners to DIY as compared to the press-in bearings on my car.
The bad news is that the bearings cost more than the press-in style and appeared at that time to have a shorter life expectancy, meaning you may be replacing them more than once.
