Step by step guide for removing front knucke so I can install a new bearing
I am pretty sure I have a wheel bearing going out on my car with 105K on it and I would like to know how to remove the knucke to replace the bearing
Thank you

This is for a ball joint but it covers the basics:
Here is a picture of everything that had to be taken apart.
1.) take off axle nut, i found it easier to put the tire back on and put the car back on the ground and then remove the center cap. This way you have the force of the tire on the car to remove the bolt.
2.) Take off caliper and undo brake line bolt.
3.) Take off strut bolt
4.) Take off tie rod end.
5.) Unscrew upper bolt joint nut.
6.) Undo lower ball joint nut.
7.) This should allow you to push the spindle down far and push the axle in so that they become disassembled.
8.) Work like never before and use a puller to get the lower ball joint to come loose.
9.) Once you get that loose, you need to lube up the ABS sensor and tap it loose from the inside with a flat head screwdriver. (You will see this wire running here and if you are like me, you will be afraid to break it.)
10.) Now you will have the spindle seperated from the car and have the ability to press out the lower ball joint.
