Question Changing brake pad

I was wondering if someone could tell me how to get the brake pads out of the caliber on my 2003 Evo. How do you get the pins out that hold the brake pads in? Do you just drive them out?

I used a small torex driver and a hammer to drive them out. It takes a little bit to get them moving but once they start it is no prob. Once the first one pops you will see what I mean. In fact I change all of my own brakes and the evo is by far the easiest of them all that I have done.

Just a side note on the rears; when I was changing mine, the piston did not want to go back into the housing. Removing the caliper completely resolved the issue. Just an FYI.
