IM gonna change my rear pads soon. I believe you just take the caliper off the bike colapse the piston with a screwdriver or something then put new pads on then reinstall on the bike. let me know if there is more to it and any tips that would make it easier.
thanks

heres some steps...
1- take off the parking break asm. and get a blockoff plate, it messes everything up and tis usless and kills your new pads
2- take the rear break fluid cap off
3- unscrew the 2 bolts that holds the pads in place on the caliper
4- unscrew the caliper asm.
5- take the pads out
6- spread the piston apart with a flat head screw driver
7- put the new pads in and bolt them on
8- with the screw driver hold the break pads apart and slide the pads over the brake disc
9- rear bolt the caliper back on
10- shut the brake fluid cap
you may need to rebleed the brakes after this because air might get in the lines. if you need help on this just ask
