Finally managed to loosen those 18mm bolts. I cranked the jack even higher, and used steering lock to one side for the upper bolt, and to the other side for the lower bolt, but it wasn't pretty. I had to use a long bar for leverage. I highly recommend that you do this if you have some means of raising the car high and getting under it safely. #6 and #7 need to come out as well.
Oh, and you need a C-clamp to push the piston back. If you want to push the piston back while the caliper is on the car, then you'd better have a large C-clamp. Otherwise you can just use the worn out caliper blackplate to as a clamping surface after you remove the caliper.
