Been a while since I messed with stock rear. IIRC, they should come right out. Might be corroded. If the pads are shot just pry them out careful not to booger the cali. Might have to clean it with brake clean & wire brush. Be sure to remove the rotor hub and clean the splines well. Little bit of caliper grease or antiseize on the splines also. replace the boots if bad.

In the picture #9 is a plug that comes out to allow you to push the fixed pad out. Pop the plug and spray some PB Blaster in there and let it sit, it should push out.

I agree. I got the awk08 GSXR rear brake setup on mine. Works great and problem free braking. It's hard to go fast if your afraid you can't stop.
