u mean the bolts that hold the pads on ???

Normally its a torx head bolt - if its tight i have some repalcement carriers u can buy from me and swap them over ???

If you mean the torx bolts holding the pads in and they are seized, if you bash the pad enough the bolt ends will snap and the bolts fall out. Only do that if you dont need the pads though ;)

Only half the clios had bolts holding the pads in

Could just be that you've worn the pads down to the backing? Or simply got some grit of something in there

If they are stuck in there that points to the rear calipers being seized, check they'll slide back and forth fairly easily

surely if the rear calipers were seized then it wouldnt brake ? i just want to know if you have to change the disc's if your changing the pad's
