Indeed - In fact every other Mitsubishi caliper design I've seen looks no different - Surely you just swing the caliper up out of the way and then you can pry the inboard pad out of its cradle? If you look at the 5th picture in the thread it doesn't look like there'd be anything in the way, even with the disc in place?
