Question DIY brake rotor replacement?

Does anyone know how to DIY front and rear disc rotor replacement? Me and my mechanic friend was thinking of doing it ourselves, bust since the car has SBC we don't want to touch anything yet until we are sure.

Does the battery need disconnecting? Any other handy hints? I have threaded through the pages and couldn't find anything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Just do a search on this site for the brake replacement. SBC disable is fully covered. Brake job is just basic replacement after SBC is disabled.
