9-3 brake job help

48K on my wife's 2003 9-3 and the brakes need help. Local dealer wants $580 to do the job...Tires Plus wants $480...so I got some time and some tools. I have the front caliper and brake pads off and the rotor is ready to come off BUT there is the brake pad holder in the way. There seems to be two Torx headed bolts that are holding it on but I can't budge them! Am I correct in needing to remove this part? I can almost slide the rotor off....So far, it has taken me 3 trips to Sears to find the right Torx screws for the other bolts but Sears does not have a socket for this bad boy. I tried a metric socket but that was no good. This project seemed easy but I am about ready to throw some new pads on it because, according to specs this rotor is only have used up! I know Saab says not to resurface them ...how bad can it be to throw new pads ? I know it would be a half-assed job... Comments/assistance is appreciated.
