on the back side of the caliper, there is a 14mm bolt that you need to pull. under that bolt there is an allen head screw that you will back outand the caliper will open. if you need a picture, i think i have one.

Does just the one bolt come off? A picture would be great. Thanks!!!

look at the big red circle. that is the bolt that you will have to remove. it is on the back of the caliper (on the inside of the wheel well) when the caliper is mounted. you will pull that, then back out the allen bolt that is inside of there. i had the same problem with my pro 5 and i had to go to my dad for help (so degrading, considering our relationship) and we figured it out.

Just a note to add to wsoape281's post.
Rotate the allen screw counterclockwise to draw thepiston back into the caliper. Once you feel a increase in resistance then stop or the screw splines can be easily stripped out. Once the pads are installed and caliper reassembled then rotate the allen screw clockwise while turning the rotor. When the caliper just locks up the rotor rotation then stop and turn the screw back counterclockwise 1/2 of a turn to set the intial adjustment. No adjustment should be needed after that. Hook up the parking brake cable after adjustment has been made.
