If I knew what year it is I could help, but with a name like gorgeous, can you chance a broken nail? This could get ugly...

Very simple job. Lift the car as if to replace the tire. Remove the tire. Take the two back bolts off the caliper and remvoe the brake caliper. Hang it up with a wire. Take out the two screws that hold the rotor in place. Remove the rotor. Remove the nut on the axle. Your may have to use a hammer and punch to loosen the lock on the nut. Pull off the hub and replace. Reverse installation remembering to use the punch to lock the nut in place on the axle.
