Now that I have a bit more time, here is the text of the procedure for the rear calipers:
- Remove wheel (directions use the guide pins, remove them after the wheel is off).
- Carefully press the brake pads back using "water pump pliers".
- Release and unclip the connector for the brake pad wear indicator and remove it from the holder.
- Get the transmission jack ready for the brake caliper and loosen the brake caliper.
- Place the brake caliper on the transmission jack.
- Carefully slide a commercially available screwdriver between the brake pad/brake calliper and lever the brake pad out by turning the screwdriver slightly. When doing this, make sure not to damage the dust boots on the brake pistons
- Remove pad retaining springs.
- Fit new pad retaining springs.
- Place the disc brake pad onto the sealing surfaces of the pad retaining springs.
- Press the brake pad into the brake calliper with slight pressure and slide it onto the pad retaining pins.
- Fit the brake pad.
- Fit the brake calliper and check that the brake hose is routed correctly (do not twist the brake hose!).
- Position disc brake pads by operating the brake several times.
- Check the brake fluid level and correct it if necessary.
