Basically to change a rotor, you just need to remove 2 extra bolts than doing a pad change. 2, 15mm bolts hold the caliper bracket to the rotor. Remove that, and the rotor slides off like a tire.
New rotor on, bracket back on, pads sit in the bracket, caliper (you compress with c-clamp and old pad) goes over the new pads, put the caliper bolts in after greasing them, tighten it all up, put tire back on.

It's very easy to do! Hardest part is breaking the bolts free because they can be on there pretty tight. That's why I recommend the breaker bar.
