Brake Pads...?

[mazdaspeedster3]

Anyone out there do their own pads yet on the front? I tried today and had to give up. I couldnt get the stock pads out. Man, bleeding all over, messed up my caliper paint, geesh! The install on my TWM shifter went well though.

ANY HELP? How do you get that spring out of the way?

man, the pads are held in by a big spring that works both pads. It is incredible. I know there is a simple cheat, hence my asking but I cant figure it out...
