03 expy front brakes ??

How do you get the brake calipers off? I removed the 2 bolts, and it is somewhat loose but will not come off. Is there a trick to this??

You have to compress the caliper with a clamp.

Do you have to do that before you take the bolts out?

No, but you do this to relieve the pressure from the pads on the rotor so that the caliper can be slipped off.
