Need a little help with disassembly...

[Iconic]

So I decided to paint my wheel hubs today to match my plastics. I was able to get the rear hubs off for painting with no problem, but when I moved to the fronts, I experienced a little trouble. It looks like I have to pull the front brake pad assembly off to get to it, I tried that, and still was having trouble. Can anyone give me some advice? Here's a few pics as well so far, I will update when all complete:

I also nightshaded my tailight. It coulda came out better, in my opinion. I've done it before, but I'm not great at it. I didn't mean to go that dark, I just wanted to kinda smoke the lens. It's alright though, you can still see the light shine through even in the bright daylight.I:I

If any one can help me out w/ the front hubs though, that'd be great. That's all I have left to finish so I can be satisfied. Thanks for looking guys!

P.S. If a mod reads this, feel free to move it to the DIY section or wherever it belongs, I don't know why I posted in Off Topic.

I used VHT Nightshades. You can usually find it in any auto parts store for less than 10 bucks. I had a little bit left over from when I did my car, so I used it up on the blaster. If you cant find any around you, let me know. I'll see if I can pick up a can and I'll ship it to you if you want.

Thank you! I don't wanna say it was a waste of time, but I don't even notice that there painted anymore, even after washing her up. There's not much of the rear hub exposed anyway, but I like the way it looks. The front looks a million times better since I painted them.
