I was replacing my front drivers side hub and broke the bolt and the speed sensor :( Now when a start the car i have SLIP, AWD, Anti-lock and vdc lights on. my question is how hard is it to replace that sensor and is bad for me to drive. the wheel bearing hub assembly install went well no more humming noise :)

Easy to do, buy the part and do it ASAP. I believe the VDC and anti-lock brakes won't work with it not functioning as it can't detect slippage.
 
How do you get to the other end of the speed sensor the end that plugs, do you have to remove the inner plastic of the wheel well. and by the time i get the part is it okay to drive the car.

Did you get any other codes when the speed sensor broke and all 4 lights came on?
 
You have to drill out the bolt that holds the speed sensor in place then re-tap it for another bolt. Mine broke as well when replacing my front hub. You really need that sensor in place, all those lights flashing means none of those features are working right now.
