Hi,

On this vehicle, the wheel speed sensor is integral to the hub bearing. Therefore, you need to replace the hub bearing.

If you look through this link, it shows in general how it is done. You can use this as a guide.

If you look at the pictures below, they include directions and pictures specific to your vehicle for hub bearing replacement.

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

Take care,
Joe
