'98 vs. '99 parts

I am wondering whether the hubs from the '98 can be placed on the '99. They came from FCP Euro, and ...

The problem is indicated by a warning light (yellow exclamation point) and a two ...

ABS light on; message says abs/ anti-skid service needed

My XC90 has had the warning light come on occasionally (2004 xc90 2.5T w/107 K miles). It is not always on. My indy mechanic hooked it up to a diagnostic computer and said that the fault is in the driver's side front ABS sensor. I have two questions: Is this a do-it-yourself fix (I have basic skills ...
