drive the car into my driveway, leave title, registation, and everything in it including keys. that should get the job done!
lol, joking of course
car has to be jacked up. tire comes off, you have to take off your caliper. be sure to hang it by string or wire and not break your brake line..lol... and then your rotor slides off. then unclip your wheel speed sensor and take off the very annoying 3 or 4 bolts that hold on the non-servicable wheel bearing. replace with your new one and reinstall everything

So where is the sensor on the outside or inside n where are the bolts?

one on the left is what the rotor slides off of from the outside view. those bolts sticking out are the studs your lugs attach to. the pic on the right near the top is what attaches to the car. you have to take out the three bolts on this one from the inside of the wheel well facing the wheel bearing. the sensor has a connector around there too and you will see it. also you have to use a punch and knock your cv shaft back out of the center of your wheel bearing in order for it to come off. id do this after taking off the rotor and befor you unbolt the wheel bearing

You have to buy the whole assembly...seems like it could be a pain in the *** but its actually really simple. I did it in about 30min
