the two pins you are talking about are held in by a clip in the back side of the caliper. usually these clips & a spring retainer (on the opening on top of the caliper) are all that hold these pins in except coorosion. if that is the case wd40 & a roll pin punch or a punch of the same size or smaller than the pin will help remove them with a hammer. hammer them out from the back side of the caliper towards the outside of the car. you can compress the piston of the caplier by using a c-clamp or large adjustable pliers.

the two with the rubber bushings on you don't need a vice you take pry bar like a lug wrench put between the pad and the caliper the housing not the rotor or piston before you slide out the caliper. and do not undo the bleeder screw. that is a no no. when you pry the pads apart the fluid goes back up the lines and no air car get in so you will not have to bleed it. there is a slit on the outer side of the caliber just for this. i have never had abs failer by doing this and your car dose not have abs.
