How can i tell if my wheel bearings gone?

Its making a noise but its hard to determine which wheel it is. is therre any other way i can check. are they hard to change? its a megane 2000.How can i tell if my wheel bearings gone?
Yeah jack up vehicle and spin the wheel and you can hear it usually. Or grab top and bottom of the wheel and push inward and outward and you have play then that's a good indication.How can i tell if my wheel bearings gone?
jack the vehicle up and spin the wheels, usually you will be able to tell
Simply jack up your car a few inches above ground, hold the right side of the wheel with your right hand,left side with your left hand and alternately push by right and pull by left hand. .There should be no play in the wheel nor any sound. Carry out this exercises on all four wheels. To change the bearings require special pulling devices and fixing new bearing requires expertise. You will have to take services of a mechanic. A word of caution, it is dangerous to drive if wheel bearings are indeed gone.
if theres any noise coming from them or if u can feel the bearing when u spin them there bad
