KRNAYL welcome to the forum,
Do your homework before attempting, as rrhodes1970 stated its not a difficult job, but knowing how to and what to do BEFORE you start the job is very important.
Properly support the vehicle
Do one side at a time take before pictures if need be so you know what it should look like.
Use the proper tools i.e. torque wrench
Use the recommended specs, over tightening the wheels back on to new rotors will warp them
Use all supplied items i.e. shims, squeal stop grease if supplied
Double check your work
do not let the calipers hang by the brake hose, support the caliper.
