96 Front Brake Calipers......

I was changing my rotors...... I did the back ones in like 5 minutes, But when I went to the fronts....... It was a whole different story....... I used a allen wrench to take off the bolts. But thats where I'm @#$%ed........ The bolts loosen up almost to where it comes out, But it just KEEPS on spinning.... How can I stop it from spinning...... It's not stipped or anything, theres like a guide in there, or it's where it tightens up... I can see it.... I can't use a open end wrench cause there isn't anything to grip it with.... It's just a round peice that I can't get a hold of...........

ANY information on this PAIN IN MY S.. would be really appreciated....

It wasn't the guide pins, for the brake pads.......
It was so easy I wanted to SLAP myself.... All I had to do was pry the bolt out enough to clear the old rotor........

Yeah you just had to pry it out. I was wondering the same thing when I undid those bolts too. My calipers and rotors werent going back on so it didn't matter to me how they came off. I meant to look at those bolts and see how they come out but never got around to it.
