Question Brake Sensor Front Passenger Side

The vsc, abs and vsc off lights are active on my dash. the dealer says it will cost $600 to replace a sensor on the passenger side steer tire. Is this something i can do myself or does it have to be replaced by the dealer?

If you can take a wheel off, you can do this task.

check if there is any damage to the sensor before buying a new one. it can probably be dirty and needs a clean.
