Huh? Why did you have to remove the caliper on a UFO rotor to change the pads? 
The way it's designed you just have to remove the rotor, there's one screw to 
hold it on, at least there is in the V8 installation, and then you can 
replace the pads in the caliper. No need to remove the caliper at all; that's 
the way I did it on my V8.
