Loosen the front lug nuts. Raise the vehicle so the tire is off the ground, and place a safety stand under the frame. remove the tire and wheel. Remove the brake caliper and hang it out of the way with a piece of wire. If the caliper won't come off the brake rotor, use a large c-clamp to compress the brake pads to gain enough clearance so the caliper will come off. Pop the dust cap off the center of the hub with a screwdriver or chisel. Pull the hub out about halfway then push it back in. This will pull the wheel bearing out far enough you can remove them. Installation if the reverse of the procedure.
Pull the caliper mounting bolts,hang it on a bent wire out of the way. Remove the axel nut,flat washer,outer wheel bearing and rotor. Install new rotor with new iner wheel bearing,on axel. Then instal new outer bearing, washer and axel nut hand tight. Spin wheel while tightening axel nut until a slight drag is felt,then back off to first lock alignment. Dont forget to grease the bearings and dont get any on the rotor.
