ABS Sensor DIY instructions?

I've never changed an ABS sensor before, but it sounds relatively easy. Are there any how-to instructions on how to do it, or is it as simple as unbolting it and putting in a new one?

Thanks

Oh, sorry. It's the front. Guess I won't do it myself if you have to remove the drive shaft and hub.
