Trying to change brake pads

[VinnAY]

Ive not intent to bust your balls here but if you can't see that the bolt head flats are meant to be trapped by the caliper recess, which keeps it from turning and that all you have to do is turn it so that flats line up and then keep it pressed against the caliper that it won't turn and you can get the nut off the back end. It's that's simple. I just changed out Brembo pads 3 days ago.

Any one saying you ruined the caliper or stripped something based on your thread and pics doesn't know what they're talking about.

Go to the other side of the car and look at how that bolt is sitting in the installed position, all you have to do is keep it in that orientation while you remove the nut.

It's impossible to get the bolt in the position he's showing without gouging out the caliper. Does he need to replace the caliper? No. But he'll have some extra steps to remove that one every time he does pads.

Got it guys thanks. I don't think I need a new caliper though

Here's the bolt that it threads in too. Bolt threads into the caliper bridge not the caliper itself
