Yeah 4 bolts.
Minus them rounding off because there rusty, minus brake pipe banjo bolts that have a habit of rounding, minus brake fluid then pi**ing everywhere lol

I've never rounded a brake caliper bolt as they're huge, you must be using crappy L shape allen keys :p

And it's being scrapped! Rip the calipers off and leave them dangling.

Well thats fine, smash the other bit with a hammer and take the sliding caliper off and the whole thing will fall off the car lol

Does make it into a 5 bolt exercise instead of 4 though! This upgrades the rating of this job to "quarter of a spanner" from "you must be a spanner if you can't" lol

Back to the OP of the thread and ignoring the previous 4 pointless replies by myself Mk99999
Yes they will fit if the brakes arent in the way.
