Need help on Brakes

I'm trying to take of my brakes. There seem to be something stuck b/w the shoe pad and the rotor. Could be a rock or a small piece of metal. It's wearing a groove into the rotor. I'm kind of stuck on how to take the caliper apart. There's 4 allen bolts that holds the caliper together. I was able to loosen the top 3 off but the bottom one, I got it lose but the aluminum brake line was in the way. I didn't want to brake that line nor did I want to take the line of the caliper. Has anyone took the brakes apart? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Don't remove the allen bolts, no need. The callipers as a unit are held on by two metric head bolts. They fit throgh the brake and then thread into the support. They removed rather easy for me.

Just pop out the two pins and spring holding in the pads. Then clear the debris and re-insert the pads.
