Need Help With Front Disc Brakes

I have a 1990 Thor Pinnacle on a P30 chassis, chevy.
I am stopped in Charles Town, WV at a relatives house. On our way to SC. The front discs are shot. I have the passenger side front jacked up and wheel off and I can't see how to get the caliper off. Of course when I google" how to change front disc brakes on p30" I get everything but that. I am pretty mechanically inclined but I just don't see how to get the caliper out. On reg cars and pickups there are a couple of allen head bolts that hold the caliper but i don't see that here. Any directions or help or a web page to show me how to get the caliper out would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

On page 35, right hand column, circled. Remove the allen head bolt. Use a punch and a hammer to tap out the slide keys and support springs. Once they are removed, the caliper comes off to replace the pads.

I'm sorry I di not get back to you. I was so worked up over not being able to figure the caliper out. But the next day I saw the allen bolt.

Thanks Again. Nice to know you can get some help here.
