Default Brake pad removal

I'm in the process of replacing the rear brakes on my trail boss. I removed the caliber but don't really see how to remove the pads. It looks like I need to remove one of the pins that the pads slide on but not real sure. So could someone tell me what the right way is.

Thanks

there should be a clip in the very top of the caliper. this clip goes thru the pads does a 180 degree turn and goes over the top of the caliper. remove the clip and the pads will just fall out

I don't know about a clip but I don't see anything like that on mine. I took the two bolts out of the caliper bracket removed the caliper and the brake pads have ears on each side that ride on pins that are screwed through the caliper. I don't have any kind of clip.

Should be a set screw on back side of one of the pins, remove it and the pin will slide back enough to remove pads, when you put new ones on adjust screw so slight pressure is feltwhen on rotor, pads just touching rotor.
