Remove front wheel, Remove caliper and caliper carrier (2 bolts or 4 bolts if you decide to remove the caliper as well to service the brake pads). Remove the front rotor (it may have a set screw in the hub) Disconnect the ABS connector, remove the 3 bolts on the back of the knuckle, remove the axle nut (if you have 4x4) and remove the hub bearing assembly.
Some tips are: you may have to get a hammer and chisel to knock the wheel bearing assembly loose off the knuckle. Also when putting the bearing back on, make sure the backing plate is in it's proper place so you can easily mount the ABS connector.
