Rear brakes on a 2006 Camry offer 2 configurations. I have the one with a single bolt on the bottom and a pin on the top. Please help me understand how to get this off ?

you are probably trying to get the callipers of by not removing the correct bolts
calliper mount bolts are 2 studs that hold the calliper frame onto the axle and by undoing these bolts the calliper assembly can be lifted off the rotor within the length of the brake hose

HOW TO GET REAR CALIPER OFF 99 SOFTAIL CUSTOM?

Did you take a thin stiff blade like a scraper and push the pads back into the caliper?? If not the brake pads are likely hanging it up. Did you undo both caliper mounting pins/bolts or did you possibly undo one and one pad pin???

How to remove front rotor

remove front wheel, undo the retaining bolts from the brake caliper and remove it, do not undo the fluid line that runs to the caliper or you will have to bleed the brakes, just tie the caliper up under the guard somewhere
remove the metal cap from the middle of the rotor, remove the retaining pin from the nut and remove the wheel bearing from the stub axle, the rotor should now be free to remove from the car.
fit the new rotor, grease the bearings if required and tighten to remove any slop in the rotor, once that is done you can put the retaining pin back in place.
You may have to press the caliper piston in to get enough clearance to fit the brake pads over the new rotor, this can be done with a "G" clamp, just remove the outer pad, place a small piece of wood over the face of the inner pad where the "G" clamp is going to sit to protect the pad and wind the clamp to compress the piston, replace the outer pad and fit back into the caliper before you put the caliper over the rotor and bolt it on
hope this helps
