I took the 2 bolts for the caliper off but it still won't slide off. Is there something else I need to remove or take off before it will come off or is it just stuck and difficult to remove.

try gently pressing in on the inside pad where it connects to the caliper. uising a screwdriver pry the caliper piston back and then the caliper will fall off. make sure to use a c clamp or equavelent to completely compress the caliper piston before reassembling.
