whats different in the procedure of changing the brake pads on a ABS car??

im gonna change my sisters brakes on her 2001 beetle and it has ABS, her rotors are fine so thats not coming off, only her pads cuz theyre running out.... can i just take out the old pads push back the caliper with a clamp and put in the new ones? or is there something different??

ABS sucks to bleed. I'd probably just disconnect the ABS electrical and then change the brakes as a non-abs car.
