I want to service my wheel bearings, where can I get a P30 maintenance manual I have a 95 Brave on the P30

The most important thing to know is that you do not preload those bearings. It will damage them per the manual. They just have you spinning the wheel while you torque to 12 foot pounds.
Then back off the nut one flat and put in the cotter pin - or if necessary back off slight more so the cotter pin will go in BUT no more than one additional flat.
Endplay in the hub/rotor should measure between 0.0005 and 0.008 inches when properly adjusted.
Also, the bearings must be a slip fit on the spindle and the inside diameter of the wheel bearings must be lubricated to ensure the bearings will creep. The spindle nut must have a free running fit on the spindle threads.
Some people have reported problems with backing off the nut no more than allowed but still being able to line it up such that the cotter pin will go in.
Have fun.
