question regarding removing rear calipers

Hi folks,
need to replace the rear rotors so after removing the wheel I looked for bolts holding the caliper and I was able to locate one bolt in the back towards the inside. just want to confirm before I start pulling bolts out. would appreciate any advise. thanks,

That sounds about right Kori...may be 2 of them hidden in there...can't remember but either way they're kinda a pita to get a socket on.

There's two bolts, kinda hard to see, but there's two of them.

Seems everyone says DTC pads work pretty well cold. But they'll eat stock rotors fast. Maybe not as big a deal with RB rotors.

Kori they are very very noisy. I've scared a couple people stopping in the parking garage at work. They seriously sound like something is terribly wrong with my car lol. They clank when backing up and then going forward; squeal like 2 cruise ships colliding together; but man do they stop the car. But Gary is right, I'm very surprised at how well they work around town when cold.
