I tried to replace my front brakes and rotors but I was told they need to be pressed off and on. How is this done and can I do it by removing the axles and taking them to a shop?

    shows the steering knuckle having to be removed b4 taking out 4 rear hub bolts and removing hub and rotor from knuckle,then remove 4 front bolts and rotor from hub, not sure why you cant take out the 4 rear bolts while knuckle is on vehicle.i am guessing axle is in the way,,, it doesnt say hub is pressed out but its all a little bit involved.
    knuckle rem.
    Pry the spindle nut stake away from the spindle, then loosen the nut.
    Raise and safely support the vehicle.
    Remove the wheel and the spindle nut.
    Remove the caliper mounting bolts and the caliper. Support the caliper out of the way with a length of wire. Do not let the caliper hang from the brake hose.
    Remove the cotter pin from the tie rod castle nut, then remove the nut. Separate the tie rod ball joint using a ball joint remover, then lift the tie rod out of the knuckle.
    Separate the ball joint and lower arm using a puller with the pawls applied to the lower arm.
    Remove the cotter pin and the upper ball joint nut. Separate the upper ball joint.
    Remove the knuckle assembly by pulling it off the halfshaft.
