- Are you trying to remove the pads with the caliper in place? The idea
- is to remove the pins (sliding caliper?) and use a screwdriver to gently
- lever the pad away from the disk and then remove the caliper pads and all.
- You can then easily unclip the pads from the caliper and put in the new ones.
- Don't get oil on the pads when you handle them.
- Replace the caliper and pins (use a little high temperature lube on the
- pins) and you have finished.
