    2005 GMC Yukon, rear caliper. Upper bolt just seems to spin, can't find where to hold it with a second wrench. Never tried lower bolt, as I bailed.

    How do the caliper bolts come out? It appears that somehow there must be a way to hold the "other" end as you loosen the bolt???

What tool do I need to remove the caliper guide pin bolt on a 2004 town and country?
I just finished doing the rears on my 2005 T&C. The caliper pins need to be removed with a 7mm allen wrench. I used an allen socket for a 3/8" ratchet, which was much easier than using my wrenches. These pins are threaded and cannot be "tapped" out as said by someone else.

When you replace them, make sure you have some high temp grease to put on them and check the pin rubber boots to make sure that they are not cracked or damaged. Good luck!.
