Mercedes-Benz: c280 brake pad R&R

I attempted to R&R the front brake pads on a 1996 c280 sport. I've done
this job in the past on my Acura, but I'm by no means a pro. I was able to
loosen the caliper body by removing 19mm bolts on the inboard side, but
could not figure out how to remove the caliper body: I could not get it free
of the rotor.

Do you mind passing along some hints?

Thanks

I just dropped my c320 wagon at the dealership... 27,000 miles on it...
they said i needed a brake job... i knew it needed an alignment since my
tires had been wearing funny.

cost of:
Front brakes plus rotors (they said they had to be done !?!)
Rear brakes
PA state inspection ($70)
aligment($100)

For a total of $980 pretty steep for an alignemtt and a brake job?
