Before I dive into replacing the front rotors, I have manual locking hubs. Do I have to completely disassemble the hubs in order to replace the rotors or can I remove the rotors without messing with the hubs? My gut feeling is the latter.

 

Yes you have to remove the hubs, which is not difficult.

 

Will the procedure in the Haynes book suffice?
