Depending on cost, you may find it beneficial to just buy a whole new hub. Usually when bearings are replaced, so are the races (what the bearing rides on inside the hub), as they are matched to each other. Races can be a bit of a pain to get out and reinstall.
If you purchase a new hub, get an extra set of bearings as well. Then, keep the burned hub as a back up with the new bearings, just in case you run into trouble on a trip. In my D$%$-it box, I keep a container of grease, extra bearings and an extra seal, and would like to have an extra hub assembly ready to go. Then, if a hub goes bad, I remove the one, install the other, and am back on my way in under 20 minutes
