Non-captive Rotors are easy. Captive rotors are a PITA.

Bearings can be easy if you buy/get the bearings already pressed into the hubs. If you get them seperate, they have to be pressed into the hubs at a machine shop

You're gonna need a press. You need to press out the hub from the back and then the bearing from the front. If memory serves. It's been years since I did mine.

yup..you've got the bearing only. You'll need the old ones pressed out and the new ones pressed in.
