The round thing they screw into on the other side of the caliper flange has 2 flats that you have to hold with a wrench.

Put a 16 mm on the round nut that is spinning. There are actually 2 flats on the round nut. When you get those bolts out pull the round nuts out along whith rubber boot they fasten to. Grease the pins with a high temperature grease designed for disc brake caliper pins. (Napa has the grease) and put back in place. You should do this everytime you change pads as this is the "float" part of the calipers. If these pins become corroded you will have a very short pad life and very hot rotors as the pads will drag.
