Is there a way not to remove the caliper but to swing it out of the way? If not. I see two bolts holding the caliper and brake shoe assembly in place are those the ones I need to remove the caliper. I know how to get the rotor off after that
. Thanks

To remove the rotor you must remove the caliper. Or at least the bracket holding the caliper.
You can not simply swing the caliper out of the way. You can only do this if you are slapping new pads on, and it's not recommended.
Always get rotors turned when doing a brake job to ensure proper pad to surface contact.
