Nope, Just remove the caliper and compress the pistons back into the housing (either a disc brake pad spreader tool from the auto parts store or a "C" clamp or a combination of the two), slip the new pads in the frame that fits over the rotor and bolt the caliper back on. You may try www.instaluniversity.com

Good luck.

That’s what I did and it is not right. Now my brakes are bleeding out and the pads got preacher to the disc. I drove from the shop to my house and they pretty hot, and that was only a mile away. You can feel the car stopping when you let off the gas.
