remove caliper bracket from caliper!!

:banghead: OK, no books or websites or threads seem to cover this. How do I seperate the caliper bracket from the caliper itself? I bought a reman. caliper and it doesn't come with a replacement bracket. I was just goingt o buy a new bracket but apparently the closest bracket is three states away. I need help ASAP!:banghead: :banghead:

PS... 1999 Lumina LTZ rear passenger w/discs

THere are two caliper slide bolts with 15mm heads that attach the caliper to the bracket. If they are seized/rusted, you'll need to apply some heat to get them out. Make sure you lubricate the slides to prevent them seizing again. Make sure your new calipers include the bushings, as heat will distort them and they will need to be replaced.

I know that are two bolts. But, one of the bolts has a brass cover on it that I can't get off. When to a lot of people. some said to use a torx bitt. Some said an allen wrench. Some said socket. I know it's a socket because the remanned one I bought has two new bolts with it.

BTW. My brake calipers don't have 15mm bolts. Mine are 12mm for some reason.

I'm getting frustrated with this thing so I'm chopping the brass cover off. If I mess up I always have another one at home.

Hold on here the caliper is held on by one bolt only, the other is a stationary pin the caliper just slides back off it!
