You are talking about the screws that hold the whole caliper itself right? Sometimes you just have to rotate the rotor a bit while you pull the caliper away from it. Be careful though as it will dangle from the brake line if you let it go. If we are not on the same page, check this site out.

Look under install documents and brakes.

No problem, I ran into the same problem with my brakes when I was doing it. Glad I could help.
