I did a quick Google search and in like 5 seconds I found a coupon code that is still valid for RockAuto (and I tested it, it works, site claims it's good until March of 2013). Check the link below:

I took my car in too get my abs System scanned as all my lights were coming on but today it was dry as a bone out and not one light came on. Never fails when taking it in somewhere but like the OBD11 computer it saves all the codes, I told the mechanic it only does it with the snow or when its wet out, The abs scanner said it was the left rear Wheel speed sensor (No signal) Does that sound like a bearing gone or maybe just the conector corroded or something, Im going to take the wheel off tomorrow and have a look how does the Plug come apart to check for corrosion??

That's a REAL common problem. Contact cleaner works the best, but I like to use WD-40 cuz I think the petroleum base leaves a little bit of gunk to help seal out the moisture. Seem to have to do it at least once or tice a year, but usually only the fronts. Nothing saying the rears can't have the same problem, but they don't move around like the ones up front during turning.
Try cleaning them and squirting some WD-40 or similar lube in them.

Well as usual Im not that Lucky and always when your out of work haha I took the left rear tire off and spun the axle and there is a lot of play in the hub and squeeled like a pig, Must be why I thought it was the left front, Ive been pricing Timken Rear Hubs and I found 2 really cheap places that ship to Ontario Canada #1 choice for a rear was Amazon.com $77.88 (Free shipping) 2nd choice was Partsgeek at $81.25 plus $8.95 Shipping (Total of $90.20). Still debating if I should replace both rear but Moneys so tight. Thanks to everyone who gave some helpful tips for checking into stuff This sites awesome. Thanks you know who you are.

Would an electric hammer drill with a chisel work and what part of the hub would you chisel?
Sorry guys I know it seems like a dumb question but I'm not as smart as your average bear.

I guess I don't have to worry about breaking the hub loose yet. I dont have a socket small enough to fit the bolts that hold it. I tried a 9mm and it was too big.
I thought I might be able to get one done this evening but it's going to sit on jack stand tonight.
I don't have an axel nut on my back ones. Once I get a socket small enough to fit the bolts how can I get the hub assembley off.
Heres a pic of what it looks like
