Front wheel speed sensors - is it easy to replace them?

I got the ABS, DSC, and Pressure lights on... :(
And ABS starts to pulse sometimes even with light braking.
I guess one or both speed sensors are dead.
How hard is it to replace the ABS sensors?
There exactly are they located?
How to tell which one is dead?
Thanks!

Thanks!

What is the current price for the sensor? Is $130 too high?

You might do a search in e-bay for the speed sensors

There are no moving parts in the sensor so about the only thing that can go wrong will be found at the connector. It is possible but unlikely that the cable itself could be damaged.
