You have to remove the 2 bolts holding it on and thn you need to twist it to seperate the pads from the disc, when i say twist i mean leaver the pads against the disc which will open them up enough. thn it will slide off.
i will give it a go

Ok Hit a problem, The bottom bolt is just stripping the head, i cant get in to hammer a smaller socket on, what can I try to get it off?
also I found the problem, the inner piston is only going out and not back, so pad was totally gone, can i get a recon kit?

If you cant get it off , without hitting a smaller socket on , or getting at the head of the bolt to cut or grind it off , the way I would remove it is clamp off the hose going to the caliper , split the caliper in half by removing the bolts that hold the 2 halfs of the caliper together , you can then remove the disc , you should be able to see the lugs on the caliper , bit extreme to do , but cut through the lug to remove the caliper , it should give you more room to then cut off the head of the bolt ,
Can you get in with a drill to drill into the head of the bolt , starting with a small drill , and evetually getting to a size the same diameter as the bolt ?
Good luck !
