Correct. unsolder them from the back and watch for flying solder as the spring pushes the brush out and propels it across the room to disappear for ever.

The new ones have a long tail on them so you have to hold the brush at the right point and solder the lead in place. When it's done, the brush should almost push out of the holder but not quite.

It's easier to do it than to explain it.
