Default REAR Brake Help Please

I'm stuck with my car in the air, doing a rear brake change on a 2007 GS350. Springs removed just fine, compressed the caliber piston but the front brake pad is bearing on the rotor. Tried resetting the emergency brake but no help. I can't get that one pad free; it's like the caliber did not move forward. ANY ideas needed. Thx all.

Which part are you struggling with? The diagrams are always difficult but the best I can offer w/ personally looking at your model GS
