Question

We're trying to change front brakes. Everytime I spin the bolt, the bolt that holds on the caliber spins too. Why is this. Do I have to put a cresent wrench to stop it from moving?

Answer

Hi,
Yes you need to retain the caliper pin (A an B as illustrated below) from spining. This can be done with a wrench or a pair of needle nose vise grips works real well too.
