OK. Got the calipers off...rubber mallet helped. A few questions. There are two recessed cap screws on the inside part  of the caliper (facing the wheel). I'm guessing these hold the caliper together. Correct? Also, to remove the pads...there are two pins that seem to hold the pads on. Do I need to remove those pins? Next, pumping the brake handle to remove the piston...can I do one at a time, or do both pistons have to be removed at the same time? Once the pistons are out, can I remove the calipers from the brake hoses to work on them?
Appreciate your help. As you can tell, I'm a little new to this.
Thank you kindly.
