Replacing the bearing isn't hard as long as you have a press handy.

Like they said, 5 lug front, 4 lug rear is fine. Just remember you're going to have to use two different sets of wheels. The hub tamer is a pretty good tool for changing bearings and is less than 300 dollars if you decide to swap out your own bearing.

Goto the junk yard and just buy the front knuckle and swap that out. Cheapest way you can do it.
