since you have a 2wd , youll have even less problems with the brake job , or of at least installing the new rotors . repacking the bearings isnt hard , its jsut messy , id suggest you pick up a box of latex gloves from the store ( most auto parts stores carry them ) or find a friend that works for a doc or dentist to steal you a box of them . once you have the rotor hub assembly off youll take out the roller bearing by removing the axle seal ( buy a couple of new ones , yours may have 2 per side , cal laroound for the best price , napa sold me mine for around $20 , someone else said they got them at the dealer for $5 ) then take a hand ful of high temp bearing grease in your hand and place bearing in hand and roll it around until its all good and greasy . replace bearing in hub , replace axle seal(s). and put back on truck the same way you took it off . be sure to hang the caliper by some zip ties so that the brake line isnt taking al lthe weight , all that will be described in the book , be sure to not get any grease on the new rotors or pads .
its a fairly simple job if youve done brakes before , i still remember my first brake job , i was poor , in high school , and needed brakes badly , so i did it cheaply and did it my self .
im not sure about the 2wd rotors , but on the 4wd , the rootors are attached to the hub . you have to unbolt them which at first seems hard , but if you place your wheel upside down , and put the hib rotor assembly into it with the studs going into the wheel like it was on it , then use a large socket wrench to undo the bolts on the back side of the hub . worked like a charm for me , after fighting the first bolt and having to find a simplier way to do it.
well thats all the info i can think of off the top of my head from last weekends rotor replacement i did .
