Brake Pad changing. Any pointers or pitfalls

As per title.
Changed may sets of pads on VW group vehicles, but is there anything worth knowing about them on the FL2. Like do the clips fly off when you remove the pads, can you get em in without removing the caliper completely etc etc.
Any tips most welcome

Thanks to Lar again there is a frame by frame guide to the fronts, it is a word document in his gallery.

A decent Allen key for the front calipers, and mind your knuckles! Also make sure you remove the brake fluid reservoir lid is off. Also a nice strong flat edged item for pushing the piston back in! The clips holding the pads in place can fly off. You don't need to remove the whole caliper!

Anything worth noting on the rears as there seem to be a lot of little bits in the box with the pads Question

Actually they have full Ikea like instructions which are brill
