How to get rear calipers off?

Hey guys I am taking my calipers off to paint them. I got the front off no problem. But the back is a li ttle different than i am used to. I am not exactly sure how to get the off and i don't want to just start taking stuff apart. I got the top bolt out but i can not get to the bottom. Just don't want to screw up my brakes because they would not be fun. Does anyone have a writeup on this?

sorry for the stupid question because i know it is probably very simple.

thanks
Tom

You're probably trying to take out the wrong bolts. Remove the 15mm hex head bolts that attach the caliper to the flange on the rear end housing. They can be gotten to easily.
