Process of hub swapping
I want to order 5x114.3 hubs from mongo but I don't know what all is need in the swap. I googled this with no luck. what's the process involved? new rotors, calipers, etc? can I have my mechanic install these? any insight would be helpful. BTW this is for a lnf with brembos. I'm guessing this would also change the offset.

Process of hub swapping
Take the wheel off
Loosen the axle nut
Take the caliper and rotors off, rotors need to be drilled to the same pattern as the hub.
Unbolt the hub from the knuckle and remove. Most likely will need to rent a slide hammer from autozone.
Use the brembo how to for the lsj on ced's site as a how to. Its really easy.

This easy.
Take off the wheel
Remove the axle nut
Unplug sensor
Remove caliper and rotor
Remove 3 13mm bolts for the hub
Depending on your cars condition you they will slide right out or need to be beaten out.
Reverse process and thats for the front. If you dont buy new bolts for the caliper and hub. Locktite the bolts.
For the rear
Remove wheel
Remove caliper and braket and also the rotor
Support the twisting beam on one side(or both if you have 2 jacks and do both sides at once)
Remove the lower shock bolt, Remove spring
Remove 4 13mm bolts
Pull hub out and unplug
Reverse Procedure to install
With that said you SHOULD replace the caliper bolts and replace the hub bolts(unless i saw your buying a brembo swap kit) You need to redrill you rotors to the bolt pattern. If your very good with measuring you can do it yourself but usually a machine shop will measure accurately and do it that way.
