You'll need to at least put the key in the ignition mode to keep the ABS actuator running.

After you're done with the rear, turn on your engine for maybe a few minutes to recharge the battery. My battery died when I tried to do all 4 sides. The ABS actuator with constant running takes a toll on the battery.

It's quite easy. It took me maybe 20 minutes to do all 4 sides.
