Default '05 S 3.0,front wheel bearing replacement

Ok guys I have searched this site on replacement, nothing for the S Type. Took the vehicle to 2 different front end shops, both said wheel bearing replacement needed (specifically pass. side). Anyone help with the removal and install procedure? What to look out for etc...
Thank you in advance.

The bearing for the front on that car is a complete assembly with hub and speed sensor built in. It just bolts in to the vertical link. Just like replacing the front brakes only 4 more bolts holding the bearing in after brake rotor is removed. The only real problem with this job is the bearing housing likes to stick in the vertical link.

Thank you realtech, job was easy (didn't even have time to finish 1 beer) One thing to remember guys "doing it yourself" the bolts holding the hub assembly to the vertical link are torqued to 90nm, and don't short cut the speed sensor connection **remove the 3 plastic push in body pins AND 2 10mm bolts**. DO NOT just pull the inner plastic well back!! Tools needed 10mm socket, 15mm socket and a torque wrench plus a 12mm socket for the brake assembly. Happy motoring!
