Remove all bolts that attach it to your suspension stuff. Then hit it with a huge rubber hammer. If it doesn't move that means you have another bolt.

If caliper is rotating about the pin, rotate it up then pull. It just a sliding pin. Make sure you clean and use caliper grease before putting it back on.

thanks for your answers. I'm a mechanic i know about the pins. The caliper has a pin going through it with a mount bracket. I don't know how the caliper is seperated from the bracket because there is no bolt head on the pin that connected them together. On this car to change the brake pads you remove one bolt then swing the mount bracket up. The pin that connects mount bracket to caliper is the one i can't figure out.
