Hi,

On many vehicles, you can simply replace the sensor. However, the sensor is integral with the front wheel bearing/hub assembly. In this case, you need to replace the hub assembly.

This will require a little bit of work to do it. You will need to remove the brake caliper and brakes, the caliper mount, and the brake rotor. Then, you will need to remove the front axle to remove the hub assembly. Make sure to get a new axle nut when you reinstall it.

If you look at the attachments below, they include the directions and pics specific to your vehicle for replacement.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe
