Just pop the cover off to check, you might even be able to do it without removing the wheel.

Make sure you have a good breaker bar, I just about managed with 0.6m, I struggled to get it fully tightened with the bar nearly breaking in the process. Probably 1m is needed and ideally 3/4" drive.

The bearing in later cars (ie yours) are integrated with hub, they won't fall out.

If you have high miles and are getting steering wobble under hard braking you might want to consider new hubs in the process. The bearings are not adjustable and when worn just become loose. Mine were gone at 170,000 miles but not detectable by the normal hand tests.
