Not really that bad. The only thing you have to worry about is the bleeders. You might want to hit them with PB blaster or WD-40 a day or so ahead of time to make sure that they come loose. If you're only disconnecting the calipers at the front, i don't think that you have to bleed the backs.

However, if you haven't bled your brakes in awhile (dirty fluid in the master cylinder) now would be a good time to do it and it's not a big deal, you just need someone to pump the brakes for you... I just got done doing my entire brake system...
