Remove the 4 nuts and pull the backing plate. FWIW, get some shipping popcorn or crumble up a small piece of paper and put it in the caliper mounting bracket hole, than tape it down. Put the pin in and bolt the backing plate back on. When you go to put that spring and cup on, you'll thank me b/c it's a PITA without anything behind it.
