Pretty much it.

In a pinch, I pulled one in a salvage yard without doing anything more than wiggling the electrical plug off the back, and blindly removing the three common screws with a stubby screwdriver.

Just remember to disconnect the battery before you start. At some point, you'll get the bright idea of using a screwdriver to help with wiggling off the electrical plug, and you don't want to be sticking metal around there with power to it.
