'76 K25 Brake Rotor Replacement... How?

I wanna replace the front brakes on my '76 GMC K25, pretty much in their entirety (pads, rotors, calipers, hoses, etc.). I believe the axle is a Dana 44, 8 lug, and does not have locking hubs, as this truck has the full time NP203 transfer case.

This is probably a stupid question, but how does the rotor come off? Does the rotor and hub come off as an assembly like a 14 bolt? Is it held on there with a nut that takes a special socket? I'm rounding up supplies and was wondering if I need to acquire a large spindle nut socket, or any other special stuff before I get started.

My '74 service manual does not appear to show a breakdown for the 'full time' style hub assemblies, only the locking type, so I'm not sure if that info is relevant to mine.

I searched several threads on this site as well, but can't seem to find exactly the same setup as mine. I must be overlooking something, I assumed these were super common. Any input would be appreciated.
