I'm getting new pads tomorrow and changing them after work with limited light. So, I was looking at the rear caliper and it appears the dust shield has to come off, then perhaps the caliper can be popped off after the two bolts are removed?

Does this sound right? I don't think there's enough clearance to just swing it back like the front though.

going to have to use a wrench to get teh dust cover off pain in the ***. Then the 2 bolts for the caliper bolts and it should come right off replace the pads and blam unless theres seized bolts no worries

 

Is there any easy way (without the special tool) to get the piston to retract? I've read you have to twist it back in whereas the fronts you can just toss the clamp on it.
