There's a cube shaped tool with prongs on it for the back. Any auto parts store should have it.

I used a c-clamp on the front, but the backs have to rotate in at the same time, hence the tool.

I just changed my pads and Autozone let me borrow the tool for free. :D I considered buying one, but I don't mind a 5 min drive to Autozone when I need to change the pads.
