How does the front brake caliper come off?
I have the two bolts in the inside removed but can figure out what's keeping it
from moving up and out of the way. I'm trying to replace the rotors. Thanks.

RobertG's right, you might have to push in the pistons a little way inward to get up and over the ridge. You can use a large screwdriver and twist sideways to get them to back up hopefully - you're gonna destroy the old pad, just so you know.

Thanks. Yeah, I went and got a new set of the EBC green pads. I hope the rear
is easier...... I assume so since the front were simply shot and that's where the
bulk of the braking is done. Thanks guys.
