Default Xa Caliper Bolts

Hello you all,
My first post.......I am having trouble removing the calper bolts from my '05 Xa. They seem to just turn when I try to losen them and won't come out. Whats up w/ that?

the 14mm bolt seems to just spin in place when I turn it and not unscrew out, How would a screw driver help?

Pull the rubber boot back and hold the slide pin with a thin set of pliers, maybe even vise-grips. Then use the 14mm socket or ratchet and turn the bolt...good luck!
