  Are you speaking of front or rear? Front's are not so bad -- basically it's an unbolting situation, as the wheel hub and bearing assembly bolt onto the knuckle. Just be extra careful of the ABS sensor and wiring! You must allow for wire clearance and even loosen the wiring from the mounting clips.

  Rears are a little more in depth, having the rear axle shafts to contend with. The rear is a knucle assembly with the wheel hub and bearing as part of the assembly. Good luck.
