It is surprisingly easy,

caliper swings away and disc held on by 2 countersunk screws

- standard vented replacements with pads is about £45 for the pair

When you push the pistons back to get the new pads in, slacken the bleed screw to allow the excess fluid out. (via a tube into a bleeding pot {jam jar})
Some have reported on here that they have caused ABS problems by forcing debris back into the ABS block after changing pads.
Not worth the hassle that could be caused by not doing it.
