Default Here's what I do...

Undo one of the caliper bolts so the caliper will flip out and away from the disc. Then, I was able to extract the old pads by pushing then towards the center of the caliper, and they just kinda popped out. Now, that was on the rears, the fronts should be similar.

Default Also

Make sure to seat the springs in the caliper correctly when reassembling...unfortunately they're not as easy as a 911 or 356. I like to scuff new pads on an inconspicuous patch of cement. And spend the $10 for a piston depressor, it'll save time and effort.
