stripped Brake Caliper bolts??

Ya I believe all of my brake caliper bolts are stripped. They are the ones on the caliper where there are 2 mounting bolts that can be tightened with a flat head screw driver. Ive tried turning them to tighten up and they keep on turning. Theres only 1 im worried about however, and the reason why is because it loosenes up by itself after driving for a while , and I gotta push it back in with my hand. Does anybody have any good solutions to fix this besides super glue??

I can't offer you a solution Ernesto, but I would suggest you stop driving the car until this is figured out.

The two bolts with a flat head screw driver face on your front calipers are actually pins and don't need tightening but do need the spring/clip on the back side to keep them from popping out and dislodging your brake pads.

If you need these PM me.

I brought my car to my job and we dissembled it and found out it was missing the clips on the backside. Im just glad it wasnt something complicated. We already fixed the problem, and now the bolts are not moving anywhere, thanks for the help
