The caliper mounting bracket, in 99% of vehicles, needs to be unbolted from the axle before it will release the rotor. There are usually only two bolts holding it. Sometimes you can remove the top bolt, loosen the bottom and swing the mounting bracket out of the way. Sometimes you have to take both bolts completely out and dismount the bracket.

Which bolts are the caliper bolts?
The caliper bolts are the long bolts that go horizontally from one side of the mounting bracket, through the top and bottom of the caliper, to the other side of the mounting bracket(if the caliper is supported inside and outside of the rotor, which all the ones I've seen are). The caliper slides on the caliper bolts to adjust to the rotorand usually has expanding dust boots around the boltson both sides of the caliper tokeep the sliding area clean.

What are the torque specifications for a 2000 venture caliper bolt?
not sure from your question which caliper bolts you mean. the caliper to mounting braket bolt is 63 foot-pounds (these are the two bolts per caliper that you remove to change the pads. They are a pin and pass through a rubber boot). caliper mounting bracket to suspension is 137 foot-pounds (these are the two bolts per bracket that you also remove if you are changing the rotor disk). the factory uses red loctite on them and they are a bear to get out.
