Replacing rear wheel hub and bearings???
http://www.audiworld.com/tech/wheel45.shtml and chocolatstarfish is right its for a yellow car hehe. and yes i reinstalled the sensor and screw it tight. abs light turns on after driving 20 miles.
I replaced my rear left wheel bearing this weekend. The Audiworld DIY was a huge help -- especially the use of a 3' tube as a breaker bar lever.
To limit the amount of time my car was off the road, I bought a used spindle with hub, bought a bearing kit, and then had Pep Boys press the bearing for $37. I switched out the old spindle with the new one and all done.
The biggest challenge for me is that pesky nut that is on the lower rearward facing arm of the bearing spindle. The nut is attached to a bolt that spins with the nut, so you have to secure the bolt by either clamping it with a u-clamp or with really skinny vise-grips.
I've got my old spindle for sale in the classifieds on this site.

+1 on the pesky nut redmond is talking about. Otherwise it should be an easy job. Small vise grip did the works for me as well as a propane torch. I bought my bearings from blauparts they have a kit there for sale that includes hardware.
I know I'm reviving a really old thread...but the DIY link that was posted (AudiWorld Tech Articles) says it's for B5 S4 ('00-'02). I have a '98 A4 Avant Quattro (B5). Same rear wheel bearing DIY info???
