its is pads , as far as i am aware its a 7mm allen key. any switched on motor parts shop will know exactly the tool you need its quite a common set up on many vehicles.
You dont need to take the calipers off , they are held on to the hub/knuckle i believe with a T40 TORX bolt. is this what you are trying to release ??? if so no need to. Just release the 7mm stud/pin which usually has a rubber cap on then the caliper swings up .
