removal of rear caliper brkts needed??

Are there any instructions or help for replacing the rear brake pads? Seems the last time I replaced my rear pads (7 years ago) I had couldnt get the new pads to go in, even with the piston pushed all the way in. I think I remember the caliper bracket was in the way. Is there any help out there?
Thanks.
Ron

The rear PBR setup "floats" in and out so you can reposition the caliper in the bracket...no need to remove the caliper mounting bracket. Just remove the top bolt on the caliper and rotate the caliper to gain access to the pads. I apply some removable strength loctitie o the caliper bolt when I reinstall it.
