1. Loosen front wheel lug nuts. 2. Jack-up front end - recommend using jack stands upon jacking up the front end. 3. Remove front wheel lug nuts and remove front wheels. 4. Remove brake caliper bolts. 5. Remove brake caliper, ensuring that the caliper is supported (I cut an old wire clothing hanger in half and use the wire to support the brake caliper, hanging it from the front spring). 6. Remove the brake pads. 7. Using a large 6" C-clamp, carefully push the caliper piston into the caliper (to provide space for the new pads). You may need to remove a little brake fluid from the brake fluid reservoir to prevent spillage. 8. Replace the brake pads. 9. Unscrew the small set screw that holds the front brake rotor in place. 10. Remove the rotor. 11. Replace the rotor (ensuring that the set screw is screwed back into the hub). 12. Re-install the caliper (and the bolts - be careful not to over or under torque). 13. Re-install the wheel and tighten the lug nuts. 14. Lower the jack (you will need to raise the jack to remove any jack stands first). 15. Properly torque the wheel lug nuts. 16. Pump the brake pedal to prime the new brakes. 17. Take the vehicle for a ride, ensuring that the brakes are functioning properly. - You got a friend in Pennsylvania.

Brake pulsation New hubs and Rotors?

I don't know if you are saying you have the new hubs and rotors and still have pulsation, or if you are asking what causes pulsation. If you have pulsation on slowing this is due to warped rotors, and you need to change the rotors and the brake pads, not the hubs. Not too expensive: 2 rotors and brake pads for my Pontiac is about 55 bucks. DIY of course.
