Remove the caliper bolts so they are not catching when you try to remove them. Open the bleeder and with a screw driver or pry bar, place pressure between the caliper and the rotor so it pushes the piston in and loosens thing for you. My guess is that the caliper bolts are not out far enough (even though they may be threaded out the entire way.
