I don't push the caliper backs it have lever but the rotors move freely. I remove both upper and lower bolts but it's like there is a 3rd bolt somewhere and it frustrating the hell out of me

I've never come across a brake caliper that wasn't fitted with two large bolts.
What you could do is put the bolts back in very loosely and hit the caliper with a big lump of wood.

Do you have fixed or sliding calipers? If they're 4 piston fixed calipers (probable) then you should be able to remove the pads without removing the caliper.

Ah. I did the fronts today. I didn't realize all you had to do is remove the pins and not the 2 bolts on the inside of the caliper. I was making it more difficult than it actually was. Probably one of my easiest brake pad changes in all of my cars. Thanks for the input everyone.
