There is no need for a special tool to remove the caliper. It is removed like most other GM calipers. Retract the piston in the caliper and remove the Allen bolts that mount the unit to the A frame, then raise it up.

additionThere is a special socket available at any parts store which is alot user friendly than fighting with sticky caliper pins with an Allen wrench. it's a 5 dollar socket that is basically an Allen wrench head jammed into a socket.

How do you remove a front rotor on a 2004 Chevy cavalier?

Remove the wheel, remove the two caliper bolts and hang the caliper with a wire or bungee cord: you don't want any pressure on the brake hose. Then remove the two caliper carrier bolts and remove the carrier. The rotor just slides off after that.
