Hi,

Before we get started, please be advised that the front hub bearing requires the entire steering knuckle to be removed. Also, you will need a press to remove the old bearing and then to reinstall the new one. If you don't have a press or access to one, you will not be able to replace the bearing.

If you look below, I added all the directions you requested. I started with the brake rotor, then the steering knuckle, and then the wheel/hub bearing. Follow the directions for the rotor when replacing the brake pads. Once the caliper is removed, you can access the pads and replace them. In addition, here is a link that will help when replacing the brake pads.

Let us know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe

See pics below. Note: The vehicle will need an alignment when this job is completed.
