[W126 Coupe] brake question

[Mike R.]

You don't have to remove the calipers, only the brake pad. Push the brake
pads away from the rotor, pull the two steel pins, gently remove the white
sensor wires and then the flat metal spring holding the pads in the
calipers, then just slide the pads out. They will come out. 
 
Clean the back of the pads (brake cleaner or MEK) and the piston face, then
smear the goop on the back of the pad. 
 
Later,
Mike R

goop.  now there are squealing.  my ?  is because the  brakes are brand new
and they are snug against the rotor is there an easy way to remove the
calipers?
