yeah no bleeding required, just be sure to pump the front lever and rear brake pedal before you go out for a ride
the DIY for front- remove bolts holding caliper on, use screwdriver to pry the pads apart, pull them out and replace, reinstall and pump brakes to bring back lever feel
rear - only added steps are remove rear wheel and then reinstall it - there are step by step vids of this on youtube
also, when your caliper is loose do not let it just hang by the brake line, put something under it to hold it up
