Changing the front wheel bearings is the same as any other rwd car. Section 9 of the FSM has a brief description on how to, link is in my sig line.

Welcome to the forum and the Darkside.

Unscrew the caliper at the bottom. Swing it up and then off. Hang it on the spring.

Remove the dust cap, remove the cotter pin. unscrew the nut and pull the disk off.

Take the 2 bearings, 2 chases and the oil seal off.

You need to tell us what is wrong though. Do you have a vibration, a 'woo woo' noise? Are you having problems removing the chase?

Have you downloaded the service manual?

You may want to replace the brake disk while you're there.
