How do you know that it is a front sensor?
Have you scanned for any DTCs?
Hp Tuners gave me an error indicating it was the right rear sensor.
Once you know what sensor, you can swap the right to the left.
If it is a front sensor, you swap the left and right hubs.
If it is a rear sensor, you swap the left & right sensors.
Anyway, to answer your question, you swap out the whole hub.

Dont you have to press everything back in? Code is C0040..rf wheel speed circuit malfunction. So passanger side problem. Wires look good so thats what it has to be. Do you not have to press everything back in cause if thats the case i'll go mess with it real quick

I never really ever had an issue with it, but a lot of people have. After you back the heads out about 1/8", hit them with a hammer to push the hub away from the spindle until you can get a screw driver or pry bar in there.
If the error travels to the other side, then you know it's a bad hub (well, actually, the sensor) if it isn't then it is the wiring or possibly the EBCM. I just bought one and it ended up being wiring. I checked it, but I guess I didn't check it good enough.

The sensor unplugs on the back, but the hub is removed on the front/outside, which requires pulling off the caliper /abutment bracket. Still pretty easy/quick to do.
Do you have headers? I'd run along the wires coming from the sensor as far as possible.
It's possible that the insulation melted off somewhere.

gotcha so entire hub has to come off to clean it. I have headers, but computer and that wire are all in the wheel well. I moved the wires from under the hood.
