    No, it pretty much is just that. Plan on spending a few hours doing it.
    You have to dismantle the current one, remove it and un-wire it. Then wire up the new one and reassemble it back onto the carriage.
    You currently have a direct (not a bowden). The 'wiring' in this case is the heater core (makes the hot end 'hot') and the new thermistor they will include with it.

    If I am not mistaken the FAQ linked to some instructions for the replacement.

    I would suggest when you order it that you order some spare/replacement heater cores and thermistors. They are cheap and will be handy to have around for repairs.

    Frankly it is not complicated, just be slow and careful (pay attention to what you disconnect and from where) and you will be fine.

    Trust me, after a year you will know it inside and out (or have thrown it away). Not much room for anything else :)

    Once you get the printer sorted and learn the basics of 3D printing you can do amazing things with it.

    Agreed. Test that first.

    Yea, that is nicer than I would have been... to Suck it must (at some level) exist.
