Dead easy to do, remember to take off the brake fluid cap and maybe have something to push the pistons back in. I use a plumbers adjustable wrench.
Since your old pads are to be binned you could use a screwdriver and lever the pistons back against the pad

Copper slip the backs of the pad and put the shims on this.
