This video goes over how to locate and replace a front wheel bearing on a 2011 Chevy Cruze with a 1.8 motor. This should be the same process for any 2009-2016 Chevy Cruze with a 1.8 motor. This procedure would be the same for the left or right front wheel bearing. You don't want to over tighten, but it's better than it coming loose. While purchasing a wheel bearing, there are many options. Depending on how long you plan to keep the vehicle, I would get at least a three-year warranty, which should help avoid any future trouble. If you live in a state without a lot of rust or corrosion, this should be a pretty straight forward process. If not, a hammer or a bearing puller/axle puller set would be helpful. Some tools can be bought and then returned at most major auto parts chain stores as loaner tools so you are not charged for use of the tool. Once done, it is a good idea to pump the brakes before moving the vehicle. 185 ft lbs is the proper torque specs for the front axle hub nut.
