2001 Buick lesabre front caliper mounting bolts which one goes top or bottom there is a difference in them?
The top (or leading) pin bolt uses the plastic bushing, the bottom bolt should be solid. Here is a snipet from a manual.
- Install the caliper over the rotor and onto the caliper bracket. Ensure that the caliper pin boots are not pinched.
NOTE: The leading caliper pin, or top pin, has a bushing as part of the assembly. The trailing caliper pin, or bottom pin, is a solid design.
- Install the new caliper pin bolts (1) and tighten them to 70 lb ft (95 N.m).
NOTE: It is important to note which caliper pin is designed for the correct bore. The leading caliper pin, or top pin, has a bushing as part of the assembly. The trailing caliper pin, or bottom pin, is a solid design. Ensure that the bolt boots fit securely in the groove of the pin bolts. Be sure not to pinch or tear the boots. If the boots are damaged, they must be replaced.

Which bolts are the caliper bolts?
The caliper bolts are the long bolts that go horizontally from one side of the mounting bracket, through the top and bottom of the caliper, to the other side of the mounting bracket(if the caliper is supported inside and outside of the rotor, which all the ones I've seen are). The caliper slides on the caliper bolts to adjust to the rotorand usually has expanding dust boots around the boltson both sides of the caliper tokeep the sliding area clean.
How do you release a rotor from caliper mounting bracket?
The caliper mounting bracket, in 99% of vehicles, needs to be unbolted from the axle before it will release the rotor. There are usually only two bolts holding it. Sometimes you can remove the top bolt, loosen the bottom and swing the mounting bracket out of the way. Sometimes you have to take both bolts completely out and dismount the bracket.

DO NOT LET THE CALIPER HANG BY THE BRAKE HOSE". Separate the brake pads from the caliper mounting bracket." Remove the steel slippers from the upper and lower parts of the caliper mounting bracket. After doing the above You should be done with removal to install follow the above steps in reverse. The rear brakes are the same as the front brakes to replace. However the rear brake disc is also a disc / drum that houses the parking brake pads. The parking brake pads are behind the brake disc. you will have to pull the disc off to get to these brake pads. The removal of the parking brake pads requires more time and is a bit more difficult to replace. I would inspect the parking brake pads before removal and replace them only if needed.

How do you get the rotors off to replace the front brake pads and rotors on a 2004 Silverado 4wd?
I just did this the other day om ny 2004 silverado. Once the tires are off, remove the brake calipers. There are two "star bolts" on the rear of the caliper (top and bottom). Remove these bolts using a T-55 socket bit. Then lift the caliper up to remove it. you might have to move it back and forth to get it out of place since the pistons are compressed against the brake bads. After it is loose, you have to support the caliper so you don't put pressure on the brake lines. I used a coathanger to support it so it doesn't dangle. Just wrap the coathanger around the caliper and tie it to something underneath so it doesn't fall. Then you need to remove the caliper mounting bracket. There are 2 bolts holding this on (top and bottom). They are 18mm bolts and they are on VERY tight. I got them off using an impact wrench and hammering on an 18mm large open end wrench. Make sure you use the "box" side of the open end wrench so you don't strip the bolts. Once those are off, the caliper mounting bracket will come off and you can remove the rotor. The hardest part of this job was taking off those 18mm caliper mounting bracket bolts. Hope this helps.
