Hold the front. I actually used a 1/2 inch on the back, actually seemed to fit better

They don't need to come all the way off.

Mine came out pretty easy and was able to reuse them. You may want to order new ones just in case.

You can rent them at auto shops. You need to turn and push the cylinder in at the same time. This tool makes it easy. If you have one of these it is the #6 pad.

You can add a bevel with a dremel tool if necessary, helps the chatter. Mintex also comes with sticky backing, remove the paper before inserting.

The springs that hold the pads tight will provide some resistance. Start the bottom caliper bolt first, then push the caliper with the palm of your hand to get the top one in. Tighten bolts to 26 ft lbs.
