XL-7 (the dash matters)
my wild guess, is the questions was

the link shows all years, and variances.

here is a photo review, that is accurate up to
1998, and beyond , if you skip the bearing service parts. as yours are INTEGRATED
and NON-serviceable.

the photo 6a and B
shows removing the hub,
so do that , buy a new hub and put it back
the same way, using the tool stated
at the stated ranges of torque
123-180 ft/lbs.
this range allows you to get the screws into the locking rings.

Let this YouTube video help you make up your mind.
$1500 does seem pretty steep.



How to Replace MINI Cooper Wheel Bearing Hub Bearing

YOU HAVE TO REMOVE WHOLE STEERING KNUCKLE ASSEMBLY WITH FRONT HUB BEARING AWAY FROM VECHICLE. BEFORE YOU CAN REMOVE FRONT HUB BEARING 3 BOLTS.

The front wheel bearings on your Dodge Dakota allow the wheels to spin freely on the axle spindle. These sealed bearings may cause noise once they wear out, develop a pit on the races, bends and other damage that interfere with wheel performance. However, the front bearings form a single assembly with the wheel hubs and they should be replaced as a single unit. Fortunately, installing a new assembly is not a difficult process.

1. Removing the Hub/Bearing Assembly

   • Before raising the front wheel(s), loosen the half shaft nut using an axle nut socket. Then remove the wheel/tire assembly and the half shaft nut. If your particular Dakota model comes equipped with an Anti-lock Bake System (ABS) sensor, remove the sensor form its bracket and move it aside.
     

     Now you are ready to remove the brake caliper and rotor. Make sure to secure the caliper to the coil spring using a piece of heavy wire. Do not let it hanging by the brake line to avoid damage to the brake hose attached to the caliper. With the caliper and rotor out of the way, you have access to the hub/bearing assembly mounting bolts.
     

     On some models, you can only access the hub/bearing mounting bolts through the holes in front of the hub/bearing assembly. Rotate the assembly by hand as you loosen and remove the mounting bolts. Once you remove the bolts, you can detach the hub/bearing from the steering knuckle and halfshaft. If the bearing assembly seems stuck to the halfshaft, use a 3 jaw gear puller to remove it.
     

   
   

usually when your front wheel bearing is wrecked the abs will go off.

cant reset the abs light till you change the bearing and get a new sensor..... if the bearing is the problem.

jack the front end up and see if you can wiggle the tire and up and down and see if it seems to wiggle in the hub. if the tire wiggles in the hub (not the suspension, in the hub) your bearing is worn out and the sensor has gone off. the new sensor comes with the new bearing.

good luck and let me know if i helped

Sometimes tasks like this seem bigger than they are, my first suggestion is go to the part store and look at the part, have them pull it out and let you hold it, and will let you see what you are getting in to, then take off the rear wheel. if at this point you dont feel more comfortable, stop and seek help. After the wheel is off, remove the brake caliper, should be two bolts, remove caliper mount bracket, two more bolts, remove rotor, should slide over wheel studs( might have bolts holding it to wheel bearing(hub assembly if so remove those) and remove axel nut in center of hub(this will be huge) then its just 3 bolts on hub assembly and possible a harness plug. See if you can get a Haynes or Chiltons manual for your car, it will have step by step pictures to guide you!

It seems that either the bearing is not properly fitted leading to false alarm being generated(maybe the bearings are too tight) such that the brake pads are not equidistant compared to the other side wheel. Well the thumb rule is to replace both since they are the front wheels. Try refitting the bearing but my instinct tells me to change the other wheels bearing too and get the brakes reset with the help of computer guided sensor settings checking & adjustments as required. This will definitely help but don't forget to recalibrate the sensors with the help of a PC at the service station. Its IMP......sodeep

I would just replace the bearings, They're not that expensive and they're quite easy to replace. After replacement, if it happens again on the same wheel, you probably have a bent semi-axel. I had this exact problem on a '93 200tdi disco.

9 times out of 10 it is the ABS modulator for the disco II's. That being said, i hope you're sitting down...only a LR shop or a shop with auto logic can fix it and it's gonna cost you... A new modulator costs around 2k. if you can get the dealer to install a remanufactured one, it will cost you around 700 for the part and about 3-4 hours of labor.

you cant change just the bearing, you have to replace the whole hub assembly. once you take off the wheel, take off the brakes. then remove the bolts for the hub on the back side of the knuckle.
