92 Dodge Grand Caravan 3.3 Wheel Hub

[Rschrei518]

I have a 92 Dodge Grand Caravan 3.3 and while i was driving on the highway i smelt a burning smell and noticed that when i released the gas the car was holding back. then when i got home i saw the driver side wheel smoking. I took the wheel off and saw the smoke coming from the center like where the wheel bearing is. It looks like they are sealed. and i called around everyone says i have to replace the wheel assembly.

My question is how do i go about this i was looking at a couple of diagrams and saw that there are four bolts holding the assembly on so my question is i am hopeing i don't have to disconnect any suspension components from the rear of the knuckle or is there enough room in the back to get to the bolts?

Is there anything on the knuckle which could of became damaged. I really appreciate it and if you could please walk me through the process thank you so much

I have one question if there is only four bolts holding on the hub assembly why do i have to disconnect the tie rod end and why do i have to disconnect the knuckle from the ball joint. Is there anything on the knuckle that could have became damaged?

When you have to replace a hub assembly can you just change the bad one or do you have to change them in pairs?
