I seem to recall buying the bolts, since I used an FCP aftermarket hub. The job is maybe 3 ratchets out of 5. I have done my axles before, and the procedure is similar to a certain point. It is on Bay13 under hub replacement. Get a big-A long handle (4 feet) to break the 36mm nut loose. Then loosen the nut a little and smash squarely with a large hammer to break the axle loose. Repeat until it comes free. I seem to recall detaching my sway bar link, which is easy enough and you want to do that while the weight is still on the tire. The 4 hub bolts are torx and you need an assortment of drives at your disposal to pick one that fits in the space, as I recall. The bolts can be stubborn so make sure you have the bit firmly inserted.

Make sure you have the new hub seated fully - there will be some corrosion build up that you want to clean off before installing it. Be sure to support the brake caliper. These tips are way out of order. Use the bay13 procedure as your guide. Good luck.
