OK, from a guy who used to do this a lot:
Yes, the rotors on a 126 bolt to the hubs.
The problem with not packing the bearings is that it's really hard to keep junk out of the bearings when you unbolt them (which you are better off getting someone to do with an impact gun rather than by hand). Plus as someone mentioned you "should" replace the inner seal.
There is a few different varieties of bearing packers which make this job somewhat more tolerable. Some are probably cheap enough to just go ahead and buy yourself one, even if it ends up being used on this one job.
Oh, the hub cap can be a bear to remove without the special tool, but again it can be done.
The messy part is getting the old grease out of the hub. Lots of old towels help, or a couple rolls of paper towels.
If you have someone who can zing the old rotors off and new ones on, it's not that bad of a job.
We (or at least I) can talk you through setting the bearings.
Bearing grease, just use a name brand high temp bearing grease. Geez lets not turn this into an "oil thread"!.
