as simple as turning it counterclockwise as viewed from the front? (looking down the barrel) Any tricks to know?

Depends on how it is attached - if you have a short barrel and are using the hider to make the 16" minimum, then it is goign to be pinned and/or silver soldered on.

Otherwise, yeah, just unscrew it.

Brownell's has a video on their website that will explain everything in detail.

I've done a few. Unless the barrel is a 14.5" with pinned/welded FH in place, it should simply unscrew. Make certain you have the upper anchored well. I always use the front sight post since it's pinned to the barrel. You don't want to clamp the receiver in a vise since it, not the FH, may end up turning.
