Answer
The job is not difficult if you have some mechanical skills and metric tools. 4 or 5 hours of labor.
Remove the wheel.
Remove the brake caliper. This takes a 7mm allen wrench (2 bolts), each can be found under a small round dust cap.
Remove the caliper mounting bracket - 2 bolts.
Remove the rotor. It should come right off. If not tap it with a hammer to brake it loose from the hub.
Now you have access to the bearing and will need a puller. Advanced auto parts and some other parts stores rent specialty tools.
You can do it.
