First time? Did you pry back the lock tab?

Don't feel bad...I had a heckuva time getting a wrench on my first caliper bolt much less turning it. So I inspected it closely and there is a locking tab on both bolt heads!!! Lots of folks don't bother to put it back on under both bolts (one piece of metal) but it really works for not losing bolts.
You can skip the locking tab if you put the thing back together with blue loctite and a flat machine washer. The locking tab used to be a couple bucks from Saab but probably isn't even available now.
