They use a sealed hub assy. You would remove the wheel, caliper, bracket, rotor, axle. The hub is held in place with bolts (usually Torx). Rotate the spindle to align the bolts with a large hole on the hub assy. Use the correct Torx bit or you will strip the bolt head.
It is best to use an impact wrench.

One the old hub is out, install the new one. I would soak the hub bolts in PB Baster overnight.
