Aye fairly easy you’ll need a T45 or T50 long torx bit (can’t remember exactly which one) to remove the 5 x bearing bolts, a 13mm I think it is to loosen the 5 x disc bolts, a bit 36mm I think socket to remove the hub nut which has a torque rating of fooking tight, then you’ll need to extract the hub/bearing assembly from the knuckle that’s the hardest part, easiest way is to bolt 3 long bolts into the hub where the torx came out then bolt the wheel back on, as the wheel hits the bolt head it’ll draw the bearing out of the knuckle, once it’s off it’s just a case of pull the disc off and stick the new one on then bung it all back together.
