That's about it, except he forgot the part where you push the pistons back into the caliper to make room for the new pads. All in all, this is the trickiest part of the job, but still quite easy. I tend to use a big flat head screwdriver, a small piece of wood for leverage, another small piece of wood on the piston to protect it, and be very carefull not to damage the pistons of the seals.
