How do you change a front rotor with locking hubs?

I have an 87 Chevy Silverado V20 4x4 with front locking hubs and im trying to change the rotors but cant get hub off please help!!!How do you change a front rotor with locking hubs?question are the front brakes frozen?is this full time 4 wheel drive?

or do you have change the hub to lock or un lock?

there should be some screw on the out side of the spinds you take them out then there should be a nut behind this cover take off the the nut there should be a washer behind the nut and then a wheel bearing pull all that off and them you should pull the rotor off make sure you mark how it came off if i were you i would put new wheel bearing and races in side and out

let me know if i help you i work on truck for 30 years i would help if i can geneHow do you change a front rotor with locking hubs?I forgot how, so buy a http://www.haynes.com manual for your truck that shows you how. The library would have photos of it in Chiltons and Motors manuals. I converted the Chevy automatic locking hubs to MileMarker manual locking hubs which eliminated a lot of problems. Here it shows how to do it:
