Front wheel bearings/hub

2013 FR-S, approaching 90K miles. Original front brakes... yeah, I know, I let them go way too long. In the process, I think I've toasted my wheel bearings. I've replaced bearings and races on trailers, planes, and a few other road vehicles ('93 Range Rover in particular used to eat them), but they were always the "tap'em out, tap'em in" Timken sets. I gather ours are a cartridge type affair and you need to just buy and replace the hub assembly as a whole?

If that is correct, does the new OEM hub assembly come w/ the wheel studs and the mounting bolts for the hub itself (inserted from the rear)?

Any words of wisdom? Looks like an easy job, but unfortunate that the entire hub needs to be replaced instead of a $30 set of bearings.
