How-to video on changing brake pads

I recently changed the pads on my Spyder and shot a video to help anyone that may be leery of doing it themselves. Very straightforward job. Hope this helps someone save a few bucks:

is it really necessary to remove the callipers ? Here it seems to go without.

Also using an impact wrench for bolts which should be tightened with a torque wrench is not so clear to my (one can just confirm that its tight, but one will not meet the intended torque but typically far more)

It is necessary to remove the calipers for the rear pads. The video you linked is for a front pad replacement.

I also used a torque wrench to tighten each bolt if you watch the video fully. I only use the impact to snug up each bolt, then you will see I pull out the torque wrench to ensure each bolt/lug is set to the proper torque.
