It's a modular hub assembly so it's easy on this one.
The fastest way:
Remove the two bolts holding the brake caliper bracket to the knuckle. Using a zip tie secure the brake caliper assembly to something to hold the weight. Don't let it hang on the brake hose! Remove the brake rotor and ABS connector that plugs into the back of the bearing assembly.
Remove the Axle nut, upper ball joint nut, and outer tie rod nut. Then using a small puller and NOT a hammer, pop the joints loose. Pull the knuckle forward and remove the outer CV from the bearing. You can now pivot the knuckle on the lower ball joint to gain better access to the 4 bolts that hold the hub assembly to the knuckle.
Remove the bolts and pry the hub assembly out, work from side to side. It's usually held in place by a little bit of corrosion but it just slides out eventually.
Installation is the reverse of removal. Be sure to follow the torque specs on all these bolts.
