drive them out from the outside in with a drift and hammer. then reinstall the same way with a drift to avoid damaging the paint on the caliper.

you're also missing the piece of sheetmetal that keeps the pads down from that picture. buy a set from the dealer.

Like 320 Dreamer said, but I use either a 3 of 5 pound sledge on the face. In something less than 5 minutes, there will be lots of rust on the floor, followed by the rotor. If you're using a rubber mallet or a regular claw hammer, I don't believe you'll be able to remove it.
