You probably have Ate, which is the same as the Teves, as I recall.  They're all pretty simple.  Just drive out the pins and remove the parts.  Good idea to do one side at  a time so you have a guide.

  I own a 1986 Vanagon that I want to do the front brake pads on . All I have for a manual is a 1983 Haynes . And it shows the front brake calipers as being Girling or Teves Style .Now I went to check which one I have and low and behold it is different, from the one they show in the book.The question is do I have to make the same choice or is it a signal style ?
