well i just took the bolts all the way out and the caliper came apart in two. the pads were still hard to get out,i had to push real hard and they slide down. Thanks for the help. first time post. Thanks
Don't know what you did but I just removed the caliper from fork leg and removed 2 12 point pad pins to remove pads. Hope you did not split the caliper into 2 pieces. You ought to buy a service manuel, good investment IMHO.

You should not have to split your caliper to remove the pads. The are two bolts to remove the caliper and two smaller bolts (pins) to remove the pads. If you remove the remaining two larger bolts still in the caliper you will split the caliper (as you have already figured out).

yeah i did split the caliper. removed two bolts holding the caliper on fork and removed the bolt i coulds see going through the pads. and then i still couldnt get them out, so i took the 1 remaing bolt out and the caliper split. and the pins your talking about, there are no pins. so how bad is it?? (spliting the caliper) ? ?
