There was just a thread on this 1 or 2 days ago where I supplied an entire writeup for dissembling the auto hubs and rotors (for replacing wheel bearings if you want). The instructions for installation of the manual hubs comes with the hubs when you buy them. You will also need to buy a spindle nut kit (conversion kit) to convert your auto hubs to manual hubs. All of this is covered in that thread. Heres the link:

Good luck. Welcome to FTE!
