Brake Pad Swapping, Easy Method?

Ive tried but there's no place to rest the the long part of the screw driver to pry on. I don't want to screw up the powdercoated part of the caliper. I'll take another look when I get a chance.

Use a piece of wood for a fulcrum to protect the caliper finish, if you need too.

Put some foam around the shaft of the screwdriver, then wrap the shaft of the screwdriver with duct tape.
