here is mine: (also i believe drums should be the same you just have to remove alot of springs and crap)

jack up car and place on stands

take off wheels. keep e brake on for a minute!

take and with ebrake on remove bolts holding rotors on
Image

next release brake and start taking off calipers

2 bolts for caliper
Image
then the 2 holding on bracket sry no picture

after hold caliper away and take rotor off

notice dust cap in center ... just take flat head screw driver and pry open and remove
Image

next youll notice nut ... pry away bend and remove.. also there is a locking tabbed washer ...use magnet and remove as well
Image
Image

now the hub is free .. one of mine came off by hand other i had to hit off

you may run into this problem.. part of the bearing had stuck onto the axle
Image
i used air hammer like so
Image
and walah!
Image

old vs new
Image

now push new bearing on by hand and reverse removal steps and bam
