Remove the affected tire and wheel. Remove the brake caliper and tie it back to keep it from hanging on the brake hose. Take the nut off the tie rod end and knock it loose. Take off the big axle nut in the center of the hub and pull the hub off the cv axle. Youll probably need a little percussive persuation to get it to slide out. Sometimes a lot. Just don't beat up the end of the axle! Very important. Use a piece of wood between it and the hammer. Then youll have to remove the bolts and abs wire. Use the new hub to locate where the bolts you have to take off are on the back side of the old hub. Theyre usually really hard to get to. Reverse the procedure to reinstall
