My dad is planning a front brake rotor replacement on his 2007 frontier 4wd (v6) and was explaining to me something about having to remove the hub to replace the rotor. I've never worked on his truck before but it didn't sound right, but then again I've been surprised by different designs before.

So a few questions.
Is this a straightforward job? or is there any hub removal.
Replacement parts? Are there any specific brands that people have had trouble with?

I also suspect that any front end wobble could be a bearing. In that case, I may be back.....

thanks to those who respond.

The rotors are just slip on, I ordered rotors online once and they didn't fit so
I had to call around everywhere to find a set and the nissan dealer was the
only one that had them! The factory rotors are more but at least they fit.
I tried the EBC pads (green) they stopped good but put a lot of dust out!
In my opinion OEM replacement parts are the best way to go!!!!

Look at this site for pictorial directions for doing the front brakes.
