This is what the brakes setup looks like after taking the rim off


Remove the top and bottom pins, just tap it out as shown


Remove the nut that is holding the caliper on (14mm)


Compress the pads to remove the caliper/pads setup
Once the caliper is out, remove the pads, clean the piston area, lube the contact points and install the new pads. Everything else is pretty much reverse of installation, its pretty easy!
Thank you for the write up! I am going to be doing this next week, and was curious if you were able to re-use the springs and pins from the previous pads (assuming no damage when removal). Its quite expensive for new hardware, more than the pads themselves. Thanks!
