Theres 2 bolts mounting the calipers to the bracket. Take those 2 bolts out, pry the pads open a little and the caliper will come off. There is another nut/screw that holds the rotor down. Remove nut/screw and your rotor will come off. Its not complicated to do.

Thanks for the info everyone. After having MB replace the rotors/pads 3 times I still have the dreaded brake squeal on one side and I have decided to take matters in my own hands...god help me LOL...
With respect to the B-17. A B-17, B-25 and B-24 travel the counrty and for about $400 per plane, you can go up for a half hour. I used to fly fixed wing and helicopter years ago as I was an aerospace major before changing to business so aviation interests me as does military aircraft. The ride in the B-17 was amazing. Here's the link to the folks that do the tours:

And here's some more pics from the 17. The one in my avatar was from the bombardier's position in the very front of the aircraft...an amazing place to be seated. If you look at the picture of the B17 you can see an opening on the top of the plane, in combat a 50 cal twin machine gun was there but it's been removed so if you dare you can stick your head out of the space during flight (I did and it was very, very cool).
