hmmm, well you don't have to necessarily take them to a "brake shop"... and you don't necessarily have to "take off the wheels"... but you do need to be able to see them. If you can't see them without taking your wheels off...then sadly...you must remove them.
It would be like trying to figure out if your a$$ was clean ...sort of hard to do without "looking"...see what I mean.
