Question Brake job

I have a 1992 Taurus gl with the 3.8. I must say its a pretty peppy car for its year and size. Dpfe kept melting, but replacing the converters and O2 sensors stopped that.
After awhile of hearing a grinding noise coming from my front passenger side brakes I decided its time for a brake job. I took off the wheel and tried to take off the caliper but it wouldnt come off. Are those 2 hex bolts on the rear of the rotor holding it onto the knuckles? Why would they be so difficult to remove (they are a size 40 aren't they)? Just wondering so I only buy the tools needed to do the job. If not, how the heck do you get the calipers off so I can remove the old pads and get the rotor turned?
