replacing front speed sensor

For those who have done it,how difficult is it to replace a front speed sensor on a 2004 Z06 ? does it require removing caliper and pads? Cant seem to find a youtube video that deals with the C5 specifically Thanks

I need a front sensor also, but I haven't been able to find a listing for the sensor by its self, only as part of the wheel bearing assembly.

Same code you get if the wheel bearing goes bad. Code tells you the area you need to look in but doesn't necessarily tell you the part that has to be replaced.
