taking out rear brake pads???

Ok...I'm feeling pretty stupid. What's the little trick to getting out the rear pads? I have the caliper pulled but I can't see how to pull out the pads without damaging the little clip...?

I swear...I usually have a brain....

The pads should pull out, once you have the old pads out use a C clap to push the cylinder back in and replace with the new pads bolt back up, pretty easy.

I figured out something better...at least far better than what I was doing...

I initially took out the caliper and carrier as a unit since my main issues (I thought) were with a wheel bearing. I didn't realize that those were meant to be separate.

I thought things out and did the other side by compressing the caliper still on the rotor and then removing the caliper itself....worked super easy.

Thanks,

D
