For anyone interested in the 4 guide bolts in each caliper where the brake pads are mounted into (pic is from another post, ignore the arrows -- the 4 bolts are circled):
Still waiting to receive them, but if they are indeed what they proclaim to be, they will require a 10 Point Brake Caliper Socket to remove (available on Amazon).
Has anyone had any experience removing/replacing these?
Did my first brake job recently and would have loved to replace them instead of having to clean them in place (and then properly clean the old ones for next brake job).

Are those the bolts that you can see from the outside of the calipers? I have the red calipers and I think mine are painted red. In fact they look like they were painted with the bolts installed. Did it jack up your paint job when you replaced them?
Yes, they are the bolts visible from the outside.
I have the silver (unpainted) calipers with white on black labeling on my 2014 Porsche Cayenne Diesel (front brake calipers Brembo 7P5615106BB and 7P5615105BB). (360mm).
Brembo in Italy responded to my inquiry that they do not carry these bolts in their "aftermarket catalog".
I will report back if they seem right for my application and if there are any official p/n associated with them.

I hear you about not liking/wanting to clean stuff. However, do you really have to do anything with the guide bolt besides a 2 second wipe and even applying some grease on them? I don't see why you would have to replace these unless they are broken.
Yeah, I probably err on the side of wanting to clean too much which in the case of these bolts might indeed be overkill.
Mine had a decent amount of caked-on brake dust which seemed to require too much fiddling (at least the way I was going about it).
At the time I was wishing to just swap them and clean the old ones at a later time.
You might also find taking them out a bit of a chore. If I was Brembo and I wanted to make sure those bolts don't go anywhere (it would be a bit exciting if they backed out) - I'd use red Loctite on them, and that won't come out without serious heating of the bolt. This is a case I'd suggest LWEA "Leave Well Enough Alone"..
These are rather rusted on my calipers. Seems like the oem coating on the calipers were not applied to the bolt heads as well. Anyone have first hand experience replacing them?
bumping this to know how tough it would be to remove these bolts. Thanks!
Doesn't look hard but you would be breaking the paint on the original bolts, which I actually like. I would say only change these pins if you decide to refresh your calipers with a new paint job.

On my diesel's calipers these are unpainted and seemingly untreated. A strong wheel cleaner can make them rust, which happened to mine - now trying to replace them with my next pad/rotor change. I have everything but the 10 point socket. The "shoulder bolts" actually have some blue locktite on the threads already so the job shouldnt be too bad.
Mine are rusty too.. For that price, I'm interested! Same for front and rear hopefully?
I spoke with suncoast and they confirmed they are the same front and rear. I bought 8, only for the outside of the caliper. When the 10point socket arrives ill confirm if its the right size and update.
