yeah you are correct, it comes as one piece called the hub assembly. 2 13mm bolts for the caliper, the 36mm axle nut, 3 13mm bolts holding the hub assembly on. a bfh and a big screwdriver/chisel will usually get the old hub assembly out, but if not there is a trick where you use an extension between the hub and something else then turn the steering wheel carefully to push the hub out. i suggest using anti seize on all the bolts you put back in, and consider doing your ujoint while you have it pulled apart.

It's really easy to do. Take off all the break stuff and remove the axel nut I'm not sure how many bolts hold on the back haven't done mine yet. use a slide hammer to remove the hub... If you don't have a slide hammer try whacking the crap out of it with a sledge! My boss got me to do it on a bet one day!

You have it except for the 36mm hub bolt. The hub assemblies are one piece with bearings inside. You replace the whole unit.

Make sure you clean everything up to the splines on the axel shaft and all around the inside where the big round part slides in.. Wd 40 or parts cleaner works great and then grease it all up when you go to put it back togeather

Use anti cease compound on the bolts.. Some people may say it's not be nessary but I plan on keeping my jeep a long time so anything I take apart I use it
