Not unless you are changing the rotors. You have to pull the axles to take the rotor off.

You will need a special socket to take the nut off to get the hubs out. I don't remember what it's called or the size, but Roland had one when we changed my axle seals. You may want to get new seals for this.

What socket does it take to get the rear hubs out? Would autozone have it in stock?

I presume the discussion above is specific to dual rear wheel trucks. I don't remember pulling the axles when I removed the rotors on my SRW truck. Looks like you have a SRW so you shouldn't need that tool unless you need to remove the hub to replace the seals.
