Any tips on replacing the rear brake pads? I took out the two pins that hold them in but couldn't figure out how to get the inside pad out or for that matter retract the piston. Does the caliper need to be taken off the carrier for this? Any help is appreciated.

Yep, you'll have to take off the caliper to change out the pads. One of them has a notched tab sticking off to one side which keeps them from coming out with the caliper on.

Thanks K. One more question. I'm assuming to remove the caliper I just take out the two 14mm bolts?

That should do it as far as I can remember. I'm due for a new set of pads this spring. I'll probably throw them on before the Dragon in early may as well as a fresh set of rubber.
