So...... you just wanted to show how easy it is to remove and install the brake pads.  ???

O.k. Noted.

I was kind of expecting you to incorperate some new sort of wheel lock that you had come up with.  ;D

I think it was more of cleaning the dust out every once in awhile.  Not sure how effective it is using compressed air.  Only the loosest of dust will come off that way.  Also not sure if using compressed air is the wisest thing to do.  I would definitely have a mask on when doing that procedure.   Sometimes squeaking can be cured by giving it a good clean but to me that involves removing the caliper and using a tooth brush and liquid brake cleaner.

Yes, it's quite easy to remove and install the pads.
