If you don't have calipers with the pins, an easy el-cheapo way to measure the rotors is to use a couple of thick washers on the rotor surface, measure and then subtract the thickness of the washers
Yuo can buy a decent digital caliper from Harbor Freight for around $10. Mine look just like the ones Jon posted, but without the pins
Brake pad changes are probably one of the easiest DIY you can do.
It takes more time to jack the car and remove the wheel than to change the pads.
Once the wheel is off, it takes me maybe 90 seconds to swap out the pads
