Removing brake pads without taking off the caliper?

My mechanic removes a bolt and lifts the caliper up but not completely off the rotor. He then pries off the old brake pads and pries on the new brake pads.



Is this the right way to change brake pads? Will it cause damage to the calipers?

No, but it means he is not turning your rotors, most of the time that is OK.

As long as they end up in the correct place and the bolts are tight they will be fine.
