OK, so I ended up doing this a few weeks ago and found that it's much easier to remove the caliper bracket than remove the caliper from the bracket. I also just half undid one pin per caliper to get the new pads in.
One thing that I'm now considering is whether I should've greased anything in there? I've been reading that it's a bad idea to use copper slip on the backs of the pads because it can cause the piston seals to swell, but should I have greased the notches in the caliper where the pads slide back and forth? Or is it best to avoid grease near the brakes altogether?
Thanks in advance.
