It's very important to replace wheel bearings when they begin to fail as they can cause a few different problems that can be both costly and dangerous. Wheel bearings allow your wheel to rotate with minimum friction as well as support the weight of the vehicle on that corner, which means even the slightest bit of damage can lead to problems. The first problem you'll begin to notice is that the alignment will feel like it's out. In addition, the front tires will begin to wear unevenly. Excessive driving on failed bearings can cause two major problems: the friction can cause the bearing to weld itself in place which can lead to it shearing off the hub and you can potentially lose a wheel going down the highway.

A grinding or scraping noise is no different, not only will this problem be annoying and hard to put up with, it may be the cause of nerves due to the potential bill you could be faced with.
You can either remove the brake caliper, then brake pads, then brake caliper bracket (in that order), or you can just remove the entire assembly at once by removing the caliper bracket. It's recommended going that route as it's only two bolts to remove and it keeps you from having to re-seat the brake pads. Once you have the caliper bracket removed, set it on top of the upper control arm to prevent any stress to the brake line that is attached to it. With the caliper assembly out of the way, you'll be able to slide the rotor off easily.
