PB Blaster is your friend. If you can't loosen the nuts or screws, hit it with some PB Blaster and give it a few minutes.

Simple tools should get you done. It's relatively easy to remove the calipers and rotors.

I'd also recommend getting some rubber gloves. The blue ones... the regular yellowish/clear ones are pretty thin, the blue ones are tougher. I recommend this because after changing my brake pads, I had black gunk under my nails for a couple weeks! Makes clean up a lot easier if you use gloves!
