Default Changing brake pads on a 2012 FLHX

Has anyone had problems removing the rear brake caliper on late model street glides? I cannot get it to clear the factory mag wheel and come off the rotor. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Don't remove the caliper if your just changing pads.

Rock it back and forth a few times to open up and spread the pistons.
