Oh one more fun fact that I found out about the PO today. Among many things I guess he wasnt fond of his safety. I am actually now thanking my lucky stars that it didnt cause a major catastrophe when I was driving the car the 117miles on the day I purchased it.
So I was taking apart both rear brakes so I could remove parking brake cables when I started on the drivers rear brake.
I go to remove the two allen bolts that connect the caliper to the carrier and I cant find the bottom one. I thought is it deeper then usual and I am just not putting the socket in far enough? NOPE! There was no bottom bolt, completely missing. So I go to remove the top one next, and while its in there, it was already completely out, the only thing holding it in was the cap.
So basically zero bolts holding the caliper to the carrier on the right rear, I popped the clip and it pulled right out.
