How front caliper bolt or pin works?
When you would apply brake, the fluid would be pushed into the caliper, which would force a piston into a brake pad, and the pad into the spinning disc, called as a rotor. That is when the magic would happen. As the rotor would block the movement of the piston, the caliper would itself slide back towards the car along two little rails called guide pins.
