96...different rotors?
Saw this tutorial
How To Replace Front Disc Brake Pads and Rotors - 1999 GMC Jimmy, Chevy Blazer
Read some other posts saying the brake job on a 96 is fairly straight forward....went and bought rotors today and they're different than what I've seen.
The wheel studs are in it, like it's one piece
Think the wheel bearing sits in the rotor?
How much more difficult of a job is it replacing rotors on this style

The rotor on a 96 is separate from the hub. It's probably just rusted on. It should slide off the hub where the studs are mounted. Massage it with a hammer and it should loosen enough to take it off. Also sometimes there's little metal clips on the studs that keep the rotor in place while you mount the caliper. You might need a flat blade screw driver to pop them off.

The rotors in post #2 and the video in post #4 are for 2WD. You can reuse the original bearings, if they're ok. These are for 4WD: Wearever Brake Rotor YH141261: Choose best Disc Brake rotors at Advance Auto Parts 4WD rotors just slide off of the hub/bearing, (they do not come with the studs).
