Well, if the parts are the same it should be simple. Remove the wheels, the calipers (2 bolts) and slide the rotors off. Exchange the parts onto the other one and be done. Should be about an hour job.

Is it 4wd? i want to say no the rotor will not fit the bearing hubs are a little off but you can make the breaks work just have to change more than just rotors bearings, calipers ...

x2. change the knuckles. very easy job.
89 and down, the brake mount is a removable piece and has wider mounting points.
i put in an 89 axle under my 90 and had to swap the knuckles over.
depending on the year of your parts jeep, the hub, rotors along with the calipers all need to change also as the hat height on the rotor may be wrong. still all an easy job.
