I don't want to leave you hanging out there but you would be better off buying the repair manual for this repair. You will have a little more to do if it is 4X4, But the jest of it is, first if it is 4X4, remove the nut that hold the CV axle into the hub, the wheel comes off, brake caliper is unbolted and moved out of the way, then the brake support bracket, then slide the spline of the CV inside the hub, Then remove the four bolts that hold the hub to the spindle. Then reverse for reassembly. Note: The hub may be rusted to the spindle so you may want to try soaking that area with a good penetrating oil. Remember the repair manual. You will need it for the torque specs. for the hub, the brakes, the lug-nuts, and the nut for the CV.
Remove the front wheels and four wheel drive hubs.
The hub is pressed off using a bolt threaded in the center to push on the front axle.
Remove the hub to disc bolts.
Replace the disc and reinstall the disc to hub bolts torqued to 73 Newton Meters with loctite 270 applied to the threads.
