Yes..

Remove the wheel.

Pull out the old pads (use long nose pliers if necessary)

push the pistons back in - making sure the brake master cylinder doesn't overflow! (I use a screwdriver to do this)

Clean the caliper with brake cleaner spray

Check the new pads fit correctly - file the metal pad backing slightly if necessary, put a smear of coppaslip on the back of the pads (NOT on the friction material) and place them in the caliper lining up the holes on the pads with the retaining pin holes on the caliper

Refit the spring (the right way up!)

Refit the 2 retaining pins.

Refit the wheel.

Go do t'other side!
