So I've read the brake how to already but was wondering if u much change the hub etc. Most places I have tried to buy for my 01 pathfinder only sell the blank rotors and pads, I'm only using truck for bout another year and would like to just reuse the hub and bearings etc.if possible, thanks

I don't see why you would need to replace those parts if it's a typical disc brake setup, unless there's something about the Pathfinder's construction that I have completely overlooked.

If the hub is fine and your bearings are good then you shouldn't need to replace them. But I would recommend re-greasing the bearings and hubs since you're in there and will already have it all apart.

If your rotor is 26mm thick and not warped horribly or gouged, just replace the pads.

You shouldn't need to replace the hub or bearings. Just clean and re-grease the bearings while you have the hub off and you should be fine. You could get new inner grease seals, or just keep the existing ones.
