Is there any trick to getting the calipers off and replacing the pads, or are they pretty much like any other disc brakes: two long bolts and push in the piston a little with a C-clamp?

Shop wants $360 to replace pads and rotors but I think the rotors are okay from the little triangle that I can see between the caliper and the dust cover. There's no noticeable problem with the brakes; shop just said the rear pads were getting thin.

Thanks
