He didn't show them in his pics. He removed the caliper with the bracket as a whole unit where there is no need unless you're changing the rotors too.

See the black round cup thing on top of this pic?


there's a cap on it, if you pull it off, there's a 7mm allen bolt inside and it just removes the caliper from the bracket if you just only want to change the pads only.

BTW the bolts you were talking about trying to take off...they're on there torqued to 81 ft/lbs....you just need to use more muscle
