Well what hubs do you have? Manual locking or Auto locking hubs. I just had my rotors turned on ours, ours has the auto locking hubs. Its pretty simple(if you have the auto ones that is, then i can help)

its all the same manuel hubs or auto hubs. just remove the 3, 5, or 6 screws that hold on the hubs. pull out the big clip and remove the inner part of the hub. now you will see a big nut that takes a special wrench, about 20$ . remove the outer nut then locking washer and then the inner nut, special wrench again. remove bearing hub and rotor assembly. pound out the lug nut studs and split the rotor and hub assembly apart. reassemble just the opposite. or just take the whole assembly to the auto store and have them split and reinstall the rotors. you need to get a repair manuel if you are gonna do your own repairs. they are a lot of help.

Another two things you want to look over are the flex hose brake lines out there. If they are originals they probably need changed.
