Thanks... I was going to use that, but thought I would wait.
** While I was in here typing that, my dad was out there working on it and when I got out there he had got it loose and had already installed the new pads.
I placed the tire back on and what I did not know is that I had placed the pack of shims on the trunk lid and he did not know anything about them. Oh well.
There werent any shims on the old pads. We have to install the driver side rear tomorrow, so we will go ahead and install those and if the others rattle, I guess they will come back off. I am hoping this was the cause for my recently "soft" pedal and sticking rear brake.
Thanks for the replies.

The old brake pad protects the piston from damage.
