I haven't done a 05+ truck yet.....do the calipers get held under one side of the brake pad hardware on one side?
On the 99-04 F-450/550s they are like that where you have to lift one side first and then slide the other side out.
Easy to spot if you look at the caliper though.
As mentioned, they should just slide right up if you give them a slight nudge up with a pry bar.

he calls the anchor mounting bolts, caliper bolts, but i would remove the anchor to clean the pin bores anyway.

Good links Rob - both of those show the style I had expected to find - where the caliper comes out leaving the pads in the anchor bracket...
