Precautions for working on ABS equipped cars:
If calipers or other hydraulics need replacing, leave it to a professional.
When servicing pads, do not turn the car on until it is reassembled. I have heard, though not seen it and do not wish to confirm personally, that the ABS system can pressurize the calipers right at turn-on and eject pistons. I don't want to find out.
Otherwise, replacing pads is easy and straightforward, and likewise rotors.

You *must* have normal 2 piece rotors on both sides. The ABS front wheel sensors see a tone ring that's attached to the bearing hub. The rotor slides over this. Probably just covered with crud and rust.
If you replace your rotors, take a minute to clean off your ABS wheel sensors- removing the grit and filings reduces faults and ABS warning lights. Use masking tape to get the grit off the magnetic wheel sensors.
