always do one pad at a time - using a large screwdriver wedged between the
old pad and rotor obviously being careful not to damage the rotor - although
that's unlikely.
Never remove both pads at the same time - you'll find a worn pad makes a
perfect place to wedge the screwdriver.
Don't forget the backing plates if fitted and put some anti- squeal paste on
the back of the pads and don;t put greasy finger
prints on the rotor or new pads.
The new pads should slide in easily as long as the piston/s is fully
retracted. Small blocks of wood are helpful also -
Are you doing the wheel bearings now also?
Take Care,
Larry T

Driver's side rear brake is done. Learned a lot, managed to break a
c-clamp. It was a tool show cheapie but interestingly had been fine up
till now...
I learned the better way to push the calipers back is with a screwdriver
while the old pads and rotor are still installed...
Gotta have some lunch and get back out there!
