Once you've removed the brake caliper, you have to remove the structure that was holding the caliper and pads in place, called the carrier. Removing it is similar to removing the caliper -- two bolts on the back and it's off. Be sure to put all of the parts you remove in a safe place with the bolts that they go with.
