Did this today. Wow what a difference with non-warped rotors! I recommend a brass hammer on the studs. Most came out with a single good whack. The 4 15mm bolts must be removed before whacking on old rotor and hub assembly. Otherwise, it ain't moving. I beat the hell out of the drivers side rotor and hub assy with 4-5 pound hammer to get it removed from the axle. It didn't want to play nice.
Not sure if previously mentioned, but be sure to tighten those 15 mm bolts evenly so as not to cock the hub/rotor assembly as it goes back together. Also recommend putting axle nut on loosely to keep rotor/hub assy front falling off. It is quiet heavy and your foot is gonna probably be under it.
This job wasn't nearly as bad as I feared, but still solidifies my belief that it is not surprise GM went bankrupt. Yes it works, yes I love my sub, but honestly, a dumb design.
