Thanks for that info. I wasn't sure if it was T50 or T55. My Torx bit set went from T40 straight to T60.

Just use a flat screwdriver or butterknife or pry them off and try not to bend them. You can install them later on by removing one pad at a time and sliding them in. It is just easier with the calipers off.
They were not on my brakes. I would have to purchase new ones. I never had brake noise prior to installing the new pads and rotors and don't have any noise currently. My rotors are directional drilled and EBC Red Stuff brake pads.
