6+ Brake Pad Install

[kenr]

Hi all, so I now have brake pads for my 6+ (you need to call, not on website yet). Here is my question I have seen two recommended techniques. 1) remove rear wheel then change pads and reinstall wheel 2) remove rear brake mechanism, change pads, then use hold down rear brake lever to align and tighten mechanism back into position. Any advice appreciated

You don't need to remove a wheel to change pads. Just remove the respective caliper, remove the cotter pin that holds the pads/bracket to the caliper, and gently grab the extended tab of the bracket with a needle nose plier, squeeze the bracket tab very slighltly and then pull it out. Pads are now accessible to replace with new ones.
