I did mine about 2-3 months ago. Remove your calipar, Remove the big axle nut, then there are 4 bolts on the steering nuckle that have to be removed, behind the rotor of course, after these are removed you will have to disconnect the ABS sensor, if you have it from the rotor assy, to do this you can either grind down a 3/8" allen wrench. I think its a 3/8" or you can knock out all the studs from the assy, you can also disconnect from under the hood. I had trouble finding someone who would turn mine, they were unable to chuck up on the assy. I ended up buying new ones for about $32 each.

One other word of caution (from experience), secure the axle with wire or zip-tie to the axle housing so it can't accidentally be pulled out of the differential. Mine came out only a little but it was enough to damage the seal and end up with a leak. FYI.
