Default How to change Brake Pads in 4 Piston Performance Machine Caliper?

I have the Performance Machine 4 piston Calipers on my bike and need to change the brake pads. I couldn't find anywhere how to change the pads for these calipers. I noticed a cotter pin in the clevis that hods the pads in the caliper. Do I just remove the cotter pin and pull the clevis out or is there some other way to change the pads?

Thanks...
Rich

If the pin runs through the pads then yes you need to remove the pin. I suspect it isn't a cotter pin running through the pin but a spring clip. Grab a hold of it with a pair of needle nose pliers and pull up gently.
