OK, I'm going to order new Wagner rotors.
Besides the rotors, what else do I need to do this job?
I have grease for the hub, but I think I need a special wrench/socket to get the hub off. (Anyone have a part # or exact size for this hub? I understand there are different ones.) Do I need to replace any seals or are they usually reusable? If I do need/should replace anything else could someone please post a LINK to the part? My head is swimming looking at the auto parts stores at all the different type of seals and bearings for the frontend I just don't know what I'm suppose to get or not.

You will need the wheel bearing seal or front wheel seal. That one is hard to get out without damaging it, and it has to come out to get the larger bearing in the back of the hub out.
You will need the special socket for the Dana 44 frontends. It's the smaller one, and is very common, the same one used on the 70's 4x4 frontends also. I would also go ahead and get a new set of brake pads. The old rotor may have worn the ones you have now uneven, and you would not want a uneven pad contacting your new rotor.

Can you tell me if this link is the correct seal for the wheel bearing? Advance Auto Parts: Oil Seal by Motor City - Part S-4250
It say's it's for "4WD, Inner".
Here is another: Advance Auto Parts: Oil Seal by National - Part 4250
Lastly, I think I'm ok with the brake pads. Before I discovered the rotor problem I had replaced the calipers, hoses, and pads. They have less than 1,000 miles on them.
