Its a 36MM i just did mine recently jack it up put the axle on jack stands take off the 36MM your going to need a big breaker bar for that or a nice impact gun unbolt the caliper and take the rotor off then theres three bolts behind the wheel there are 3 13MM 12point bolts break those lose and it will come off. Go Timken there expensive 250 for 2 but theyre worth it.

Break loose the 36mm before you put it on jack stands, it can be a pain to get off sometimes. I think its tighten to 150 ftlb or something. I never torqued mine, just made it really tight.
