Default Did someone snap off the bolt heads Brakes

I have a 1999 rx300. Changes front driverside no issue. Went to rear and the top of the caliper where I thought would be a bolt head (Front has top and bottom bolts). There is no bolt head. I climbed under car and looked at opposit side. It looks as if on passenger side the top of the caliper (Where a bolt should be?) has no head either. We never di thid before and I was looking for pictures of rear caliper to see. But did someone snap off the bolt heads on the tops? The bottom caliper bolt is on each side.

I am going to do front passenger side first while people anser.

HELP!!!! Pictures!!!

That is correct, there is only one b olt on the bottom, the upper is a pin. (Rear brakes only) The caliper slips off the pin.

Default Is the DIY removing the rear rotors

Front was piece of cake....couldn't get rotor off rear but they were not bad . Now I have to rear rotors that are brand new for the rear. But want to know how for future

There are 2 bolt holes in each rotor. These are so you can insert 2 bolts which will push off the rotor. Also make sure your e brake shoes are not adjusted tight and holding on the rear rotor.
