Alright guys I'm having some trouble here. I want to repackage my front wheel bearings. I have a 2wd 05 sport trac so it should be easy right... I can get the caliper off but for some reason I can not get the caliper bracket off. I know I need to take the caliper bracket off to take the rotor off in order to get to the wheel bearings. here are some pics of the bolts which I would only imagine go to the caliper bracket, I can see no other bolts.

What gets me is that I have looked at diagrams, even different years, and none have the same set up as mine which makes me doubt that these are the two bolts I should take out but they are the only ones connected to the caliper bracket. I have tried lube, pounding on my socket wrench and nothing. Any ideas?
