    The front hub contains the wheel bearing, jack up and secure the vehicle on a jack stand, remove the wheel, apply the brakes with the engine running car in park and get a friend to loosen the half shaft axle nut, remove the brake caliper and mounting bracket, remove the brake disc, it just pops off, undo the ABS wheel speed sensor, push the axle inward to gain access to and remove the three hub retaining bolts. Assemble in the reverse order, tighten the hub retaining bolts to 85 ft/lb and the axle nut to 159 ft/lb.
