Default 2004 Grand Caravan Rear Brake Caliper

I was attempting to perform a rear brake job on my van when I discovered that the rear calipers are mounted a bit different than what I am used to. It looks like the ONLY mount is the actual caliper slider and there is not a caliper "bracket" that can be removed. Is this correct?

The second part of this question is the actual tool used to remove them. There is a rubber boot protecting the head of the bolt but I got a light in there and it looks like these are a square fitting?? Does anyone know what size square adapter I will need?? Will it need to be an impact version or will these guides come off easily?

Thanks for your help!

They are a 7mm allen head and come off with just a ratchet. They are the only screws you need to remove.

I needed to get my calipers off to change out a wheel hub. Thank you for the picture.
