Default Brake Pad removal

I'm hoping someone can help me search the archives for info on pad removal on a '95 coupe. My manuel is 600mi away and I haven't been able to locate one in the little burg I'm in now. Also any suggestions
as to what to put on for a stock Sunday driver type car. I have access to NAPA but anything else is over a hundred miles away. Pictures would be nice(without saying I suppose) but I think I can follow detailed instructions. Any special tools required or 'gremlins' I need to know about? Any help really appreciated. (Footnote:My GF goes back to CA on Sat and we'd like to get one more run in. I won't see her again til Dec and you don't drive Vettes in MT in Dec and she's a new convert and I'd like to keep her that way) Thanks guys......

Front...Remove c-clip from retaining pin. Pivot bottom of caliper away from the rotor. Replace pads. Reinstall.

Rear..Remove bolts that secure caliper to bracket. Replace pads. Reinstall.

As brake pad removal goes, no suprises. Factory pads work well for street driving, making no noises, and our priced close to aftermarket pads.
