I going to replace my front hub on my 2003 V6 AWD ABS Vue. It just hit 100,000 miles with no bearing problems to date. The ABS light is on, triggered by the front passenger wheel sensor. If there is rust or something on the sensor, is there any chance that I could remove the debris and re-use the hub? I've read it is difficult to remove the old hub, and they tend to get damaged in the process. If I replace the hub, what are the torque specs for the shaft nut and hub bolts? Do these need thread sealer?

The ABS sensor is internal to the bearing assembly. So if it is bad then it is the entire ABS wheel bearing assembly that gets replaced.
