If you are just doing the pads and rotors, you don't need to be concerned with the hubs. Here's the procedure:

1995-99 4-Wheel Drive Models

Loosen the wheel lug nuts.

Jack up the front of the vehicle and support on jackstands.

Remove the wheel and tire.

Remove the two anchor plate-to-steering knuckle bolts then slide the assembly off of the rotor.

Grasp the rotor and pull it from the wheel hub. Some models may have a small retaining screw holding the rotor to the wheel hub, if so, remove the screw then pull the rotor off.

Installation is the reverse of the removal procedure.
