You only need the computer to activate the ABS module if you get air in there. If you don't get air in, you can do it without.
I do agree that brake fluid should be changed every two years. Whereas I may be able to do pads in a short time, I wouldn't, as I prefer to inspect everything, replace rotors most of the time, clean the guide pins, etc. I take the opportunity of a brake job to look at everything else in the area. There may be occasions when only pads need replacing, but there are some (not necessarily ard) who consider that a brake job. It isn't.
