I tried to replace the pads on my 986 today and encountered a problem - the pads wouldn't come out. I pushed the pistons back but there seemed to be other parts between the piston and the pad - the picture attached. That was the rear one. Even using the hammer and quite a bit of force didn't work. Is it normal ? What's the best way of removing them without damaging anything?
