Basic bolt off/on stuff - provided u have the tools and skills. Remember, faulty brakes do not save lifes....
Has nothing to do with wheel align.
Bleeding/flushing always recommended - I do it twice a year anyway.

I replaced all 4 of mine not long ago and apart from liberal use of a rubber mallet to get the stubborn rear right rotor off, it was a cinch.
