Hey i just changed my brakes last week and i think you're running into the same problem i had. If it's the 12 point bolts you're having trouble removing just go into a Npa store and ask for the 12 point tool which i believe is called a serrated socket.

You can take it off the wheel and squeeze it together with a bench wise. You will then need to bleed the air out of all four brakes. To bleed the brakes have someone pump the brake pedal and hold it down while you loosen the bleed valve located on the brake caliper until brake fluid comes out, then retighten the bleed screw and repeat on the other three wheels.
