The wheel bearings on those vehicles come complete as a hub assembly and the speed sensor is incorporated in the hub assembly. It is fairly easy to install one provided you have the right tools.
Axel shaft bolt has to come off.
Three bolts holding the spindle in place have to come off.
Disconnect the speed sensor and carefully nudge the hub assembly out.
Installation is the opposite but be careful when installing the wire for the abs. Make sure you guide it tru and secure so it does not move and rub against moving parts.
Good Luck.
