Default Removing Caliper on 96 f150

It's been a while since I do this on any car.

I've removed the two bolts.. which by the way I stripped as they are just a tiny bit smaller than 1/2 and bigger than 7/16.. weird.

Now , how do I remove the caliper.. there appears to be two clamps, one on top and the other on bottom. Special tool?

Thanks.

What two bolts? Mine's held on with wedges or pins or whatever you want to call them. By the way, if it's bigger than 7/16 and smaller than 1/2 then you might want to try a metric socket.

No bolts, there's 2 pins in the top and bottom of them ( look like a triangle) that you have to use a punch/flat tip to get out.

well.. on my 96 f150, there are two 10mm bolts on the back that fasten the caliper. Those had been removed when I asked the question. Apparently you have to play with the side clips .. the pads remain on the rotor held by clips on the top. Once the caliper is off, pads are free to move away from the rotor.

thanks.
