My front passenger brake is stuck and I was told I need to remove the caliper and get the brake pin back in. There is only one bolt behind the caliper and when I loosen it, brake fluid comes out, so that's not it.

The one you loosened is the brake line. When you are done be sure to bleed your brakes. On either end of the caliper will be two bolts. They are most likely on the inside of your caliper. When looking at the top of the caliper, you see your disc, brake pads, and two bolts holding the pads in place. Under the piston (the big circle thing that the hose attaches to), about halfway between that and those previously mentioned bolts, are two smaller bolts holding the caliper to the knuckle. To actually see them you'll have to either turn the wheel all the way one way or the other, get a mirror or contort your body around. The best way to find them is by feel. These two bolts will take the caliper off. Again, your brakes will feel squishy if you don't bleed the lines.

Tighten the flex line back and look behind the caliper you will find two big bolts Think maybe 18 mm Remove them and caliper will come right off. When you are don make sure you bleed the breaks the caliper only has a flex line and a bleeder valve, hopes this helps.
