The pads or calipers are not sliding smoothly. Check all mounting hardware.
Each of the calipers is held in place by two bolts. Remove the bolts and then the caliper. If necessary you may need to retract the caliper piston using a screwdriver or large C-clamp.
It takes a T55 Torx bit on the front calipers.
Remove the front wheel. Loosen and remove the two 15 or 17 mm bolts securing the calipers in place (access from the back side of the calipers). Lift the calipers out of the way and your rotor will be somewhat loose. Pull off the rotor.

I Just replaced the front brake pads on my 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan. I also ran into an issue with removing the bolts that hold the calipers on. None of the Allen wrenches I had seemed to fit. According to the guys at the auto parts store, the factory calipers are supposed to be bolted on using a T40 Torx but, they are not. I went to the dodge dealer and spoke to a mechanic. The bolts are actually 7mm hex. I went and bought a 7mm hex driver and it fit perfectly. You will also need to pop of the metal bracket that holds the caliper in place on the front of the roter.
