I just replaced the plugs recently on my 90 SSE and went with the CA delco Professional Platinums, I also installed MSD wires.
I would probably stick with AC Delco plugs if you can.

You really should pick up a generic service manual for that front wheel bearing. It'll help alot. Torque specs are in Techinfo, Specifications.
The manual should run you no more than $15. Chilton'* is first choice (#28200) Haynes is second, Clymer third, but all three will get you through this no problem.

For the plugs I would say go with either AC Delco Platinum or NGK TR55 V-Power. Wires... Stock would be fine... As for the wheel bearing do what Will said and go buy a manual.

Do ya have the caliper off? I had two little one time slip-on washers on the lug studs, they come off with pliers. If that'* not it, get some WD-40 on there, and try to lightly tap ti off with a hammer, but don't hit the actual rotor surface, use an old brake pad.

Put some liquid wrench around the bolt holes, let it sit for a few minutes, and then use a rubber mallet to hit the rotor on the back. I'm assuming you took the caliper off already.
