You dont have to remove the calipers even. There are 2 pins with a locking clip and I thin a torx for the shield. They slid out the back.
Sheild comes off first.
Then without maring the rotor push the pads back, that pushes the pistons back.
Pull the clips and pins.
Slide pads out.
Then reverse, pads in pin, clip and shield.
Most important, remember to appy the brakes over and over before first ride. Or you might be in for a suprize. No brakes sux.

AND here are some photos I took when doing mine.
Remove the protective aluminum plate.
Pull the cotter pin.
Remove pin holding in the brake pad pin.
Now you should be able to pull the two brake pads out and see the three pistons that compress the pads onto the rotor.
After the pads are out be sure not to hit the front brake lever!!!!!!!!
To get your new pads in just push the piston in so your new pads will fit. Then slide the caliper back onto the rotor and reverse your steps.
