How do you remove the caliper from its mounting bracket?

I took a set of brakes off a 99 firebird that had four wheel disc brakes for my 67 camaro. One caliper will slide off the bracket without any motivation while the other seems as though it is bolted to it. Are there threads on the end of the bolts that attach it to its bracket? BTW I got all four calipers for $38 and these are the same that come on z28's, SS's, trans am's, and ws6's.

Loosen the bolts that holds the pins to the caliper and see if it will slide off then. Probably no grease in there and they are in a bind.

That is what I thought. One is loose now and slides easily while the other side is extremely stubborn. Thanks for the replies and help.
