How to remove brembo calipers

Can someone please tell me how to take off the brembo calipers/tools needed on 04 6MT TL. I tried to search but found nothing. I am trying to install new Rotora rotors/pads. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Basically there is a brake line support on the steering arm, then 2 big bolts on the back side of the caliper. NOT the allen bolts (those hold the caliper together), but the Hex Bolts that mount the Caliper to the knuckles.

Turbonut/Bearcat94, thanks for your help. Well being that i am so impatient, i just took my time and figured it out. those 2 bolts were a PITA. I couldn't get them off w/ my socket wrench, so i thought i would see if my tire tool would work......it did! I used my jack stand rails as a breaker bar and it worked beautifully. Just thought i would share this tip as it worked very well. Thanks again for the help.
