To answer your first question I'd start with Van's excellent two-part video

This is not a difficult job really. One tip I'd offer is use of the top part of a jack stand as a wedge under the tire when removing the 12 point bolts. There are six bolts per joint and naturally the wheel will want to rotate if you don't secure it. This will save you getting out from under the car each time you need to spin the tire.
