The only time fixed calipers is easier to change, is if the pad being swapped in is thinner than the pad being swapped out.
Otherwise, the next-best thing is to find a thin piece of metal, and "clamp" one side of the caliper first, insert new pad, and "clamp" the other side to compress 2 pistons at a time. This is the only way to push the pistons back in without playing the "whack-a-piston" game.
Versus sliding calipers, it is NOT easier if the pad being replaced is worn thinner than new pads.
