Just done my rears its basically the same. Just tie the calipers up out of the way with a bit of string, no need to remove pipes or drain the system. The Wheel bearings will probably fall out when you remove the hub, just put them back in with a bit of extra grease and make sure you keep them clean. To separate the hub from the disk from the hub put it in the wheel on the floor to undo the bolts and give it a good whack with a mallet as it will probably be corroded on. there's a good guide here.

If the discs are stuck onto the hub bolt it back onto the wheel to give some extra leverage & grip whilst twotting the hub

how long should this take from start to finish?

If the bolts come off ok and disc isn't seized solid half hour max. you'll need multipoint sockets for the callipers and disc bolts.
