Not anymore difficult than removing the wheel really. More time would be spent in the rr of the brake pads.
Once you remove the wheel you'll have two 18mm bolts holding the calipers to remove and one 6mm hex to remove from the face of the rotor to remove. Then it's just taking the rotor off and placing the new one in it's place.
Maybe 10 minutes tops per wheel depending on the alcohol consumption taking place ........
By the way, after you've replaced the rotors and are ready to take the car for a quick "seating" drive beware there will be LOTS OF LOUD NOISES coming from the brakes. Mine are zinc coated and until the zinc wore off the noice was deafening. Takes just a few stops for the zinc coating to wear off ....... no worries.
