well, there is just the one bolt, and the pin it threads into.. sometimes
these will spin as one.. so you just clamp down on the pin portion
and break the bolt loose.. easy,quick

Just did it this weekend and had a picture, there are two ways you can remove the caliper. 1 only lets you do the pads the other is for pads and rotors.
Picture is showing Pass Side Looking towads Rear Of Car, Upper Bolts Shown
Duplicates Below (ie 2 of each)
RED = Caliper Only Removal Pad Change Only 14mm
White = Caliper & Bracket Removal Pad & Rotor Change 17mm
