To change disc brakes on a car, you will need to lift the car, remove the wheel, unbolt the caliper, remove the old brake pads, compress the caliper piston, install new brake pads, reattach the caliper, and put the wheel back on. Be sure to follow the specific instructions for your car model and consult a professional if needed.

Normally 2 but it depends on the make vehicle.
true you do not need to remove the caliper to change the brakes. how evever they are removeable. you should be able to loosen one bolt on the caliper and flip it up to remove the pads.
To change bike disc brake pads, follow these steps: Remove the wheel and locate the brake caliper. Use an Allen wrench to loosen the caliper bolts and remove the old brake pads. Insert the new brake pads into the caliper, making sure they are aligned properly. Tighten the caliper bolts and test the brakes to ensure they are working properly. Reinstall the wheel and test the brakes again before riding.
Jack up the car. Take off your tire. Find the bolt on the back of the caliper and take it off. This should release the caliper, pull the caliper off the disc. Now you should be able to take the pad out. Replace the pad. You'll need a special tool to reset the caliper. As the brakes wear down, the caliper gets tighter so the brakes still work. I'm not sure exactly what its called, but you can borrow one from auto zone. Follow the instructions that come with it to reset the caliper. Slide the caliper back over the disc. If it doesn't go on, you need to reset the caliper more. Put the relese bolt back in. Put your tire back on. Drive slowly and test the brakes. Hope that helps at least a little bit.
