Default Spoon Calipers-Replacing the pads??

How do you guys change the pads on these 4-piston calipers?

I thought all you did was unscrew the retaining pins and the pads just slide out?, I did that and the pads just dont want to come out at all.

I tried to push them out (screwdriver from the other side), Got one pad (drivers caliper) but it was a fight, Ended up unbolting the whole caliper to get them out.

Passenger side-I figured I could wedge a screwdriver between the pad and rotor and push the pistons in a little to slide out the pads. Ended with unbolting the whole caliper on this side too.

It cant be that hard, What am I doing wrong? I thought it would be a simple 5 minute job that ended up to be over an hour (with me trying to push the pads out).

I cann't answer your question but I have one for you. Are you using spoon pads or just regular type r pads? I just bought the caliper but I don't have the pads.
