when you put em back on be sure the bolts are cleaned off good and apply a small amount of grease to them as they are the pins that the caliper slides(floats) on
oh yeah should be 2 bolts as stated above ......... most chev's are allen head, but some of the newer cars use a torx head bolt
oh and I'd tell her since she's saving some coin by getting you to do it she can spring for the 20 dollar haynes manual [img]smile.gif[/img]
that way you'll have it available when you do other repairs to her car ........
or you can hit your local library as they usually have a selection of auto repair manuals on hand (at least mine does anyways)

Didn't we just have a big thread about people not paying attention to proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation? Would YOU trust a mechanic that can't even spell the parts he's working on? [img]graemlins/jack.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/bs.gif[/img]

yeah, ur a d!ck...like other's have said spelling doesn't change anything on how that person operates!, as stated if you could read " I was at work on "BREAK" and totally spaced out on it! But your the perfectionist.... [img]graemlins/bow.gif[/img]
