not really that much work, yes the brake protector thing, and yes the system will need bleeding as you will use your original flexi hoses

Wheel off.
Undo caliper hose bolt.
Take caliper from carrier.
Take carrier off.
Take disc off.

Re-assemble with other parts, use new copper washers and then bleed through.

Easy.
