Hello again Gentlemen!
I just found out today that I will be needing to replace my front wheel bearings!(thats been the reason for the ABS kicking on at low speed!) So I wanted to stop in to ask....
1. Is it worth it to rip it all apart to simply replace the bearing? Or would it make more sense to just do the entire hub assembly while I'm at it?
2. Does anyone have a link to any threads or websites with a good step-by-step procedure for getting this done?
Thanks for your help!

Check Youtube, there are some pretty good step by step procedures posted there. I used one when I replaced both front wheel bearing assemblies on my 03 Suburban.

I replaced both fronts a few months back. Got a pretty good deal from rockauto.com. Timken brand. Make sure you are buying American made, not the cheapos from EBay. They are are going to run $160+. Anything significantly cheaper is going to be junk.
