same way you would take all rotors off if it's a 4x4. if it's auto hubs pull the hub off there is a nut on the end of your front shaft it may require a special tool if not it will require a very large socket.
key thing, do it safe, jack stands.. note the place ment of all parts. usually there is a key on the spindle shaft. that need's pryed out if you have one it's best to be pulled out with a strong little magnet , after the nut there is a nylon disc, a greased set of berrings, then you can pull the rotor off. on the back side of the rotor there is a hub seal aka oil seal, and another set of berrings
you should not need to replact the race for the berrings but you should inspect the berring and repack new grease or replace them depending on general condition. a qiuck soak in kerosene will clean out the old grease. the rear oil seal needs replaced every time you take this apart so do it all right while it's apart.
if you have ne questions while it's apart snap a pic and send it to me i'll be willing to help u out more.Need some help with 1996 Dodge Dakota ?
You don't need to remove the hub to change the brake rotors. In fact, don't even touch the hub.
Remove the wheel, remove the caliper, and the brake rotor should come off. You may have to whack it with a good sized hammer to knock it loose.

Need some help with 1996 Dodge Dakota ?Some have a slip off rotor that will come off once the wheel and caliper are removed. Others have a 4 bolt flange that allows the bering/hub and rotor to come off as an assembly. Look behind the rotor/hub at the drive axel connection for the bolts. You may have to clear out some road grime to see them.
