Need some how-to on replacing hub/bearing assembly

[baltimoremm]

I searched the forums and FAQ. I'm looking for instructions on removing/replacing the hub/bearing assembly.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Remove the brake rotor, then the ABS sensor. There is one nut holding the hub in place under the dust cap. This nut must be discarded and replaced with a new one. For a 2000 Panther the new nut is to be torqued to 300 Nm or 221 lb/ft. It's a large nut, make sure you have the correct tools before starting this project.

I know this much, there is no dust cap on the 03 and up platform.
1) Turn the air suspension service switch off.
2) Disconnect the speed sensor electrical connector.
3) Pull back the rubber splash shield and disconnect the wheel speed sensor electrical connector.
CAUTION: Do not allow the caliper and anchor plate to hang from the brake hose or damage to the brake hose can occur.

4) Remove the bolts and position the caliper, pads and anchor plate aside.
Support the caliper and anchor plate using mechanic's wire.
5)Remove the brake disc.
Early build vehicles
6) Unclip the retainers.
7) Remove the bolts and the wheel bearing and hub assembly.
Late build vehicles
8) Remove the bolts and the wheel bearing and hub assembly.
CAUTION: To avoid sensor or wiring damage, the wheel speed sensor harness must be routed in front of the stabilizer bar link.
NOTE: For late build vehicles, verify that the wheel speed sensor electrical connector is fully seated with an audible click, and that the rubber splash shield is properly positioned back into place.
To install, reverse the removal procedure.

Hope this helps.

So where is the speed sensor electrical connector? (out of curiosity)
