check this out:

Tools

Impact Wrench 22mm, 14mm drivers
Impossible to find Wheel Bearing Lock Nut Wrench(pics coming soon)
Philips Screwdriver
Chisel
Rubber Mallet

Consumables

Brake Cleaner
Bearing Grease
Latex (or other) Gloves
Lava Pro Hand Cleaner/Degreaser

Parts

DBA Slotted Brake Rotors 629SL + 629SR
EBC Yellow Stuff Brake Pads
Beck Arnley 051-2683 Outer Wheel Bearing, you don't need the outer covering that comes with the bearing.

Step 1: Remove wheel
Step 2: Remove caliper bolts and hang caliper from strut spring or let it rest on top of the baffle plate
Step 3: Remove caliper bracket bolts and caliper bracket with brake pads attached
Step 4: Pry out hubcap with mallet and chisel
Step 5: Remove 2 lock washer screws and pull out the lock washer with lock ring pliers
Step 6: Unscrew wheel bearing lock nut, I stuck my screwdriver in one of the holes and it came out fairly easily. There is a special tool for this but it's not required.
Step 7: Pull out rotor/hub/wheel bearing assembly
Step 8: Remove the outer wheel bearing from the rotor/hub/wheel bearing assembly and remove the 6 hub bolts holding the rotor and hub together. If the rotor doesn’t want to come out you can drop it on the ground rotor side down and it should pop off.
Step 9: Clean the inside of the hub and drive shaft of all old grease then apply a generous amount of new packing grease
Step 10: Pack the outer wheel bearing with grease
Step 11: Bolt the new rotor and hub together with outer bearing inside
Step 12: Place the Rotor/Hub/Bearing assembly back on the drive shaft.
Step 13: Press the outer wheel bearing in far enough to thread the wheel bearing lock nut and screw it all the way in.
Step 14: Torque the wheel bearing lock nut to 70lbs Rotate the rotor 5 times in each direction and loosen the wheel bearing lock nut to 0lbs.
Step 15. Line the wheel bearing luck nut’s threaded holes with the grooved sides of the drive shaft. This will make screwing the lock washer in easier.
Step 16: Insert the lock washer and secure it with the 2 small screws.
Step 17: Place the hub cap on and tap it all the way in with a rubber mallet
Step 18: Place the new brake pads in the caliper bracket
Step 19: Place the caliper bracket with pads over the rotor and secure it with the 2 caliper bracket bolts
Step 20: Compress brake pistons with brake compressor, make sure they’re flush with the caliper as you’ll need all the space you can get.
Step 21: place the brake caliper over the brake caliper bracket/brake pads and secure with the 2 caliper bolts, make sure the 2 small dust covers have the flat sides on the top and bottom. The flat sides prevent the dust covers from rotating and wearing down.
Step 22: Bolt the wheel back on
Step 23: Proceed to the other side.
