Front bearings are pretty simple, at least they were on my 88
Remove caliper and roter, take out the hold down bolt on the ABS sensor, pull the sensor
There are 4 bolts holding the bearing assembly in, remove, replace and repeat above

Yup, it's straightforward.
To remove the bearing bolts, there's a bigger hole in the flange, so just turn it to the right place to fish out all 4 bolts.
Mine were pretty corroded, since they hold steel & alum together. A little antisieze between those surfaces or on the bolts wouldn't be a bad idea.
