Default Changing front rotors on '94 EX

I tried tackling a front brake rotor job on my '94 EX the other day and realized there's a lot more to it than I thought. Has anyone ever done this before and can you run me though a quick lesson? Seems you have to remove the hubs to get the rotor off, but the hub removal seems a bit tough. I bought a manual and it shows that I have to remove the knuckle to get the hub off. Is this true? Is there a way around this without removing the knuckle? Thanks in advance for any help!

Sorry I restarted this topic. I found a similar post after I already posted this topic. Not sure if there is a difference between a '94 & '95, however.

Those are the same exact directions I followed. You will have problems getting the hub off of the knuckle. If you cant get if off, dont pound the wheel bearing or you will need to replace those for $40!!! Here's what i did tho, i took off the upper control arm and took the whole kunckle/hub/rotor to a machine shop and had them press off the hub/knuckle and install the new rotor for me. Should cost less than $40 each, if more you better call around. Goodluck, and be prepared to be frustrated!!!
