Should just take off the two 14mm (i think) bolts off the back of the caliper attaching it to the bracket.

Some penetrating oil may help.

notice there are 2 pieces of the brake caliper
remove the bottom bolt 14mm and loosen the top one slightly
swing up the caliper remove the old pads
remove brake res. cover
compress the piston
install in reverse order
