Rear Brake Pads

I am really confused here, I can change my rear pads while I am driving along at 120mph. The only parts that have to be removed are the two clips and one retaining pin that is all in fact Stevie Wonder could replace them.
 
Why are you taking the caliper off? You don't have to do that.
Just do what we said and pull out the pads. The new ones slip right in as easy as the old ones came out. Before we start a discussion over something sooooo simple ... just take a couple minutes and pull out the R-clips, slide the pin out and grab the pads with your fingers and pull.
If for some strange reason they are wedged against the rotor and won't pull out, just pry them away from the rotor with a big flatblade screwdriver to compress the pistons.

I thought they could be changed without taking the caliper off, all my other bikes could be changed without removing it. Maybe I just didn't try hard enough. I removed the clips and pin but couldn't get the other end loose. May be I need to try and pry the piston back to allow enough room to slide the pad out. Sorry for the confusion, it seems others think they have to remove the caliper as well. I'll try it again.
