    lol yeh its basically off with the wheel....off with the caliper....out comes the pads...then push the piston in the caliper back so the new pads fit properly (while doing this make sure the oil in the master cylinder is not overflowing). install pads makeing sure the anti rattle springs are seated correctly. then install the caliper wheel. then you have to bed them in.

    Correct me if im wrong, but since bedding in is for the disc's and his not changing the disc dosent that mean you dont need to bed them in?

    No, you still need to bed the pads in. The resin in the friction material needs to cure.
