4x4? If so,

Remove the caliper and tie it up with a zip tie. Don't let it hang by the brake line.Remove the 6 bolts holding the hub on and pull the locking hub.Remove the snap ring on the end of the axle shaft.Remove the two philips screws from the retainer clip inside the hubRemove the retainer clip.Using a screwdriver and a mallet, unscrew the hub nut (tapping motions moving the hub counter clockwise)

Now the rotor will come off. Catch the outer wheel bearing on its way out. Now is a good time to repack the bearings and replace the inner grease seal.

Remove the bolts holding the hub to the rotor and separate the two.

Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly. On the hub nut, you'll tighten that until it's snug. This takes some feel. The rotor/hub assembly should spin, but not spin real fast and free. You want the hub nut tight enough as to not have any wiggle on the bearings.
