Alright, I need to replace the rear pads, and I cant pull the pads out. Ive tried pushing them to the middle then pulling up and all sorts of things. Whats the trick, also - if they are that tricky to get out I can only imagine what it will be like to get new ones in!
Dial one of the pads so it is out of your way. Then work the pad you need to get out. It is really easy as long as the other pad is out of your way.

They're like baby teeth you have to kind of wiggle them out.
Thanks for the tip on getting the other pad out of the way, Ill try that. About the wiggling, so does that mean I have to wiggle the new one in, I would feel more secure if it would clip in solid, not a I think I wiggled it in place?
No they go in solid enough it's just getting it out.
