I'm right in the middle of a front/rear brake pad change. I have the front wheels off and am having a devil of a time getting the calipers off. Is there a special trick to remove the calipers? thanks! Need help soon. :0

 

I'm thinking for the fronts? There should be 2 big bolts holding the caliper bracket and 2 smaller holding the caliper to the bracket. If all the bolts are off the caliper first (smaller head), then wiggling it should break her loose. Usually the caliper comes off easy, it's the rotor that can be a pain. I'm basing this on a 2000 4x4 so not sure how much is different compared to your's.

 

yeah once u get the two bolts out wiggle it and use a thick flat head screw driver to pry a bit, i just did mine sat and they were kinda stuck too.
