Chrysler New Yorker Abs Problem

I need to replace my wheel bearing on the passenger side and cannot get to the 3 bolts on the rear of the wheel hub. due to the gear for the abs. I can get a wrench on the to bottom bolts but they will not budge and the top bolt is recessed and you cannot get a socket on any of the bolts because of the abs gear. and there is no half moon on the gear to enable you to access the bolts. is there a special way to get to these bolt or some kind of special wrench i need to use. this repair should have only taken and 45 mins or less to complete and i have been on it an intire day trying to get to the rear bolts on the hub PLEASE help.
Thank you Rich Cleveland ohio
