thanks I think
I tried but there seems to be a bolt head on the inside hitting the wheel. I didn't want to remove it for fear it will release brake fluid
welcome to TT . No just remove the calipers .2 bolts on each if I remember right.. Then as you slide them off the rotor, you may have to compress the pads a bit to tip off the rotor.

You have 2bolts @ the fork leg to remove the caliper, and 1 bolt @ the bottom of the caliper that hold the pads into the caliper. Look here, This is a RS caliper, #3, and #2 hold the caliper to the fork. #9 holds the pads to the caliper

A couple things I always do is loosen the fluid reservoir cover after covering your tank/paint. The reason is if the reservoir is full & you push the pistons back into the caliper, the fluid needs some where to go. It's a good time to suck the fluid out and wipe out the reservoir with a lint free cloth.
Do not touch the brake lever or you will suck air into the system.
After the bolts are removed, don't forget about the retaining clip. I use a small bungee or wire coat hanger to hold the caliper... don't let it hang by the hoses.
If you have compressed air available, cover your eyes and nose/mouth and gently blow the dust out. Let us know how it goes.
