so im doing my rear brake pads, WTF is going on here. Usually its two bolts holding the caliper on, then it slides off making the pads accessible. But it is not the case?? How do I do this HELP PLEASE

i just did my rear pads two days ago for auto cross, took me about 30 minutes per side. HOW ARE YOU IN NEWARK? haha thats awesome man. It is the two bolts, what makes it hard is the caliper piston. I just just a hammer to hammer the caliper off gently or use a pry bar. Pretty simple but they are coroded it might be harder.
