Remove tire/wheel. (5 nuts)
Seperate the brake pads just a little; pry apart with a screw driver. Easier to remove and replace later.
Remove caliper/brake assembly (2 bolts). Do NOT remove brake line.
Remove brake rotor (there may be a retainer clip or two that needs to be removed and discarded.
Remove black center cap (after reading warning on the cap).
Remove large spindle nut.
Slide bearing/hub assembly off the spindle. (If stuck, you may have to tap it with a hammer. It's a straight smooth shaft.

Reassemble in reverse order.
Tighten the nut to the correct torque spec. I don't know what it is, but it's pretty high... 200ft-lbs? The torque is important because it sets the preload on the bearing balls and races. Too low or torque will cause early bearing failure.

Bearing/hub looks like this:

I have been told my front wheel bearing is bad. Can replace the just bearing or do I have to replace the whole hub assembly.

the bearing and hub are peened as a assembly and will need to be pressed out of hub carrier on early 05. later models use a one piece bearing that will need to have hub pressed out, then bearing pressed out of carrier both bearings are avalable aftermarket

I need to change the lower ball joints on my 1998 mustang i have got everything off to this point,brake caliper,strut.ect,but cannot see how to remove the old joint how is this done?

Hi:
It is hard to do at home. I usually take my entire front hub assembly to a machine shop and have them remove and replace them for me, if it is a front wheel drive car, and in your case, if you have a Mustang, I am not sure if you can do this, as I know mine are pressed in place. If you can remove the whole assembly, I would ask for help!

What is the torque specs for the front wheel bearing/hub assembly nut on a 2002 ford mustang?

Wheel bearing don't have torque specs (to the best of my knowedge). They have a procedure - in this case it is....
1. With everything clean and packed with grease, snug the bearing lock nut until it stops.
2. Reverse it about 1/8th to 1/4 turn and insert the cotter pin.
Done

Buick rendevousz headaches

I own the 2002 Buick Rendezvous CX and I've encountered the same problems listed here. The ABS / Traction Control Lamp stays on and was throwing a code for the left wheel speed sensor as well as an anti-lock brake code (both in the wheel bearing hub assembly). I replaced the left and right front wheel hub assembly yet this did not eliminate the abs codes. 
Ultimately, I traced this problem to a break in the wire that leads to the left hub assembly. Although the sensor was properly connected, the wire (which is encased in a plastic housing) was broken. This is the wiring which leads from the abs wiring harness under the hood down to the left wheel abs sensor. 
I would suggest that you simply remove the left wheel and inspect the wire that leads to the abs sensor (there is only one wire on each wheel). Mine literally fell apart when I removed the plastic housing around the wire. I spliced the wire together and put it back in the plastic housing. After this, my abs codes disappeared and my anti-lock brakes began working again!
This is a simple fix that many people spend $1000 + on by replacing the hub assembly which does not fix the problem.
