That's about it.
You'll need a 8 or 10mm (don't remember) and a 13 mm key (Nut on the backside of the caliper).
There's a small retaining ring on the pad fixing pin (or whatever you call it) be careful, and don't loose it.

Open up the pad-gap (force them back) before you remove the old pads. That way you don't need to scratch the new pads when mounting the caliper again.

Grease the mounting bolts with a little aluminum grease or equal heat resistant grease before mounting.

There's also that springy wire clip that launches off to the far side of the garage when you pull out the pin from the caliper. Took me ages to find that again

Ooh! Congratulations! Usually it won't be found before the new one you required is in place...

Having to catch the train for two weeks is powerful motivation for searching hard.
