Forgot to add. You will need a torque wrench. You can rent one at your local Autozone or Pepboys. I'm sure other auto parts store might also do the loan a tool program. You will have all your money returned after you return the tool.
A basic 1/2" drive ft lbs torque wrench will do the trick. Or you can buy one if you're not in a hurry. They range anywhere from $75-399 depending on the brand and so on.
Wheels should be torqued back at 76ft lbs. If you feel this is too much for you then you can have a shop do it for you. It's not too complicated so it shouldn't be much to have it done.

Save yourself the headache and just take it to a mom and pop mechanic shop 65-125 bucks to replace.

Changing a hub is a pain in the *** if you do not know what you are doing. You can do more damage then good, by trying to save a few hundred bucks. I do not recommend it! You will need a ball joint fork to remove the ball joint and tie rod end.

Hubs, bearings, etc. are the only things that connect to the four wheels, which are the only contact points with the pavement - the last thing you would want to happen is the wheel flying off when you're driving 70+ on the freeway.

why not have the state pay for the repairs.
1. Take a picture of the pothole
2. Take a picture of the damages on the vehicle
3. Obtain a copy of the service record/report from lexus, make sure it has:
a. Lexus stating the the damages and that the demages were caused by driving over a pothole
b. Part(s) needed and price for each part
c. Labor cost for the whole repair
4. Take these forms to whoever handles "Pothole Claims/Incident" in SC
It's the states fault for not repairing the potholes, which in turn caused damage to your POV

Good to have all the job done and money return. But I won't get other people's stuffs becuz u never know what did they did to the tools.. Specialy those "torque wrench," nobody cares about them and stress it all the time by not putting back to 0. Becuz once ur stressed it, it never going to be accurate. So buy ur self a good quality torque wrench and stay away from the risk.
