I got the calipers off but I can't get the pads off the caliper. It's rather annoying -- the caliper doesn't have much space to move around because it's connected to the brake line. Should I disconnect the brake line to change pads? Also how do I take off the pads?! Do I need any special tools? thanks.

 

you just remove the clamp for the brake line and youll be able to take the caliper completely off. the pads will then slide out normally, like the fronts

 

thanks a lot!
