On the rear of the front wheel drive 2002 Town and Country van the disc brake caliper is located on the top of the rotor and centered. There does not seem to be a way to separate the caliper from the rotor. There are no caliper mount bolts, there are only hub mount bolts. How do I remove the caliper to replace the pads? Thanks

The two caliper mounting bolts are inside rubber sleeves on the back of the caliper. As I recall, they are 10mm Allen head bolts. Replace them if they have rust pits. If the chrome plating is in good shape, lube them with a high temperature brake grease. The same grease used on the pads is fine.
