Basic questions are how you get started.
Props for taking the initiative to try fixing your car on your own.
Getting into the game late is very hard, as very few peers work on cars, particularly as adults.
Many experts on this forum were lucky enough to have a friend or mentor to show them how to fix cars, at a young age, before they had kids.
Not everyone is so lucky, especially these days, with so few people fixing cars, especially in our neck of the woods.
I am also clueless, but if you ever need a hand, or borrow tools, let me know. I live about 15 mins. from you.
To expound on what John said,
you can punch those pins out with a drift punch.
You can then use those ears to skewer with a pick tool or screwdriver.
You can also use vice grips to compress the brake caliper piston.
