You'll need a really long thin flat nosed punch to knock the retaining pins out , maybe just a 10 penny nail ? .
Go to the .99CENTS Store and buy the three pack of tooth brushes with metal bristles , use the steel (silver color) one to clean off the tracks inside the caliper where the pads go once the old pads are out ~ you'll get lots of brake and rust (red) dust , keep at it until everything is nice and shiny again .
After about _10_Years_ I stepped on my favorite one of these and snapped the head off last Friday , dammit .
