Attached is a photo of how the Replacement 11" Rotor for Dexter Disc Brakes # 070-006-01 that you referenced fits with the hub.

To replace your brake pads # BP04-395 you need to remove the bolts holding the old ones in place, take the cap off of your actuator, then use an old brake pad or some other material with a clamp to push the pistons on the caliper # BP18-045 so that they are flush with the rest of the caliper. Once this is done you can then reassemble the new pads on the caliper and install it all together with the bolts. Be sure to install the new brake pads so they face the same way as the old brake pads.
