These bolts are 14 mms and they should come off pretty easily.

It actually forces the piston back in and just helps loosen things up before you take it apart. Before you remove those bolts you can just take a large screwdriver and put it in here and slowly pry out and that you'll actually move the caliper out. What you'll want to do is remove this bolt and this bolt. You can see here that there's basically nothing left of the pad so we'll definitely be changing the pads on this. Rotors are in good shape on this vehicle. Make sure there's not too much scaling of the rotor and the back side as well. You'll feel some small grooves but you want to make sure there are no large grooves. Then we can inspect the condition of the breaks but rotors, you want to run the back of your fingernail up along them. Then, if you don't have the benefit of air tools, start with your wheel and tire on the ground, loosen the lug nuts then raise and support your vehicle and remove the lug nuts and the wheel and tire. I'm obviously missing two on this vehicle. Start out by removing little caps that hold the wheel cover in place. ratchet and breaker bar or a pipe from some extra leverage, a large flat blade screwdriver or a small pry bar, a large C clamp and some wire brush and grease if you notice that your caliper slides are stuck a little bit as you'll see the top slide in mine is stuck so I had to pull it out, clean it and put it back in. you could substitute your own tire iron for that 19 mm socket.
Tools you'll need are a jack and jack stands, 14, 15, and 19 mm socket. Obviously you always want to repeat it for the driver's side and do brakes in pairs.
