Take the wheel off and look down at the caliper. If your brakes are at all worn, you can see the pots.

If you don't know... Then why do you care? Are you changing the pads? Rebuilding the calipers? In either case, if you tell the parts man what year/model you have, in most cases he will give you the right parts.
