Remove wheel, brake caliper, rotor, emergency brake shoes, speed sensor, emergency brake control cable, upper arm ball joint, lower arm ball joint. Then mark the position of axle nut (with thin grinding wheel or chisel) and remove the nut. Unless you own 3/4" torque wrench that goes upto 490 N/m (362 ft./lbs.) and oem bearing puller/pusher, you don't have to take the whole spindle hub off of the car but I did, because I had only arm press to work with to remove and install new bearing in. I maked the nut to impact later the axle nut back to same position to make up the original torque that was on it from the factory. I can't find my pictures that I took when it was apart. If you need OEM bearings, let me know, I can sell you couple for half of the list price. They are SNR brand made in France.
