Default Help with changing brake pads / rotors

Hey guys

Working on replacing the pads and rotors and need a little help.

I've
- taken off the right front wheel
- removed the retaining clip from the outside pad
- removed the two bolts holding the caliper to the strut
- and..... nothing.

The caliper will happily move along the rotor but the blasted thing won't come off.

I also can't get enough give to get the worn pad out...

Am I missing something? Can anyone point me to a step by step guide on doing this? I've searched the forums and the UKFN, but have not found anything related to a Mk6.

I feel like a dingbat for getting stuck on something that should be super simple but hey, I have a to have a flaw somewhere, right?

Thanks guys


Ali
