Hyundai i20 2009 - Front brake calipers mounting bolts removal. - Johngalaxy

I went to replace the front brake pads and brake disks on my car for the first time since buying it.

The bottom bolt is standard hexagonal head and the top bolt is a completely round head. I thought the top bolt was damaged, so i checked the bolts on the other caliper and they are exactly the same, hexagonal head on the bottom bolt and the top bolt is completely round.

How is the top bolt removed?

Thanks for any advice.

I’m guessing it’s a sliding pivot pin . Once you remove the hex bolt , the calliper should slide off .

Hi,

Thanks for your advice. Yes it was a sliding pivot pin. I never seen one of them before.
