New rear pads in 1 hr...quick and dirty.

Seen a lot of different procedures for rear brakes. If you wanna do a quick and dirty pad swap here's how you do it:
Tools, large flathead screwdriver, 7mm allen key with a pipe extension.
First make sure the brake fluid reservoir has room
next, use the screwdrive to pry the caliper open until the piston is fully flush (use the hole on top of the caliper were you can see the piston, pads etc.
Once flush remove the caliper pin covers and remove the pins.
Use the screwdriver to pry aside the springs so you can remove the caliper and support it on a toolbox or something so it is not dangling.
remove the old pads, clean up the sliding surfaces, slather on Anti-Sieze, mount the outer pad on the car and the pad with the spring lock on the caliper, slap them in, put the spring into place.
Light greasing of the pins, push them into place and jockey the caliper around until they "bite" into the hole (one is fine), start tightening it until you are confident it is in the thread, now do the same with the next pin. Get them nice and tight, plugs back and viola.
Carefully pump the pedal just about 10mm until pistons are seated and you are good to go on that side. Repeat on other side.
