Sorry, I meant replacing the pads, not the discs. The hose is too tight to rotate the caliper, with the bottom bolt removed and the top bolt loosened. What is the trick?

Remove both bolts and pull the caliper off.

Thanks. I just watched a video that showed that. Never had to do that before. Always just rotated it up. Thanks again.
