Changing the Brakes on an 03 Mazdaspeed

[zrc5004]

Today I was ready to change my rear brake pads. When I took off the wheel and went to remove the caliper, I unscrewed the first bolt holding the caliper together and then noticed the second was missing. In its place was a little rubber piece sticking out of a hole. How do I overcome this caliper problem?!?! Thanks!!!

Its not a broken screw. I need a special tool to unscrew it

When I did my rear brakes, I removed the entire caliper from the disc and after removing the bolt I was able to open the caliper and remove the pads. I only recall removing the single bolt.

Look at the pics in this thread, and it should make more sense.
