Default How to remove these - caliper pad stops

Getting ready to do a cosmetic tune-up on my 997.2 C4 Cab calipers. The bolts in this photo are confusing the heck out of me. First off, are they bolts or pressed in? If bolts, what size is the spline? I've tried 10.0mm and 11.00 but they don't fit properly.

Thanks. I ordered one up. They say it is 9mm which seems to small but I will try it. Just ordered it and will update.

Just to close this up. Thanks Quadcammer for the link. The tool was under $15.00 and works perfectly. I didn't realize was that what this tool removes is a short 3/4 inch bolt and not the entire pin. That is fine with me since my intent is to re-plate these parts. With it being a bolt the plating job just got easier.

Thank you. These are actually for securing the caliper to the hub. The bolts I was dealing with are for the locating pins the brake pads are captive by. Thank you any way.

once the bolt is out, you can just tap the pin out if you like.
