is the bracket attached to the caliper. i would take that off. if you have a air compressor and a air gun. take the bleeder screw out, use compressed air to push it out.. use care so you dont destroy the piston. unless you have a new one

You want to break loose the #8 bolts before you remove the calipar from the trike. It is very difficult to hold the calipar hard enough to get them off after it is removed. I would recommend putting the calipar back on the trike long enough to take the bolts out.
