Default Brake caliper Pin A or Pin B?

I have disassembled my GSR brakes for my brake swap, and noticed that one of my caliper pins is missing and that another one is damaged and needs replacement. I have been looking online for these pins and it says there are 2 pins, both an A and a B, but when I look at them on the brakes, they are exactly the same...

The pin in question is the one under the brake line, meaning the brake line runs away from it. Hopefully this doesn't confuse anyone, if it does, then I can post up a pic.

I have a set of civic dx calipers on my car, but I dont think they use the same parts as the integra calipers correct?

Here is what I need:



The topmost pin is the one that I need to order, is that pin A or pin B? See what I mean? They both look the same...

Is that the left or the right caliper? Pin B would be the top of left caliper, or top of right caliper.

Honestly I can't tell which caliper is which, only because I dont know how the brake lines sit when they are installed the car. I dont have a car to look at, so I cant compare it to anything.

Either way, from these pics, I can not see a difference between the two bolts...

hey bud i just replaced these on my hatch. you can order them in sets for front and rear from advance auto or autozone. i just did this literally yesterday and it took me 10 minutes to do them. they cost me $20 for the front set. just make sure you put some grease on them and put those rubber boots back on to keep them so fresh and so clean clean, lol. hope this helps ya out.

Look to see if the caliper says L FR (Left Front) or R FR (Right Front).

I was looking for something like that on the calipers, but I must be blind, I seen nothing like that.

I didnt know autozone would have something like that, looks like I will just go out there and see what they have.

This appears to be the left front caliper, I think. If so, then I need the pins located on the bottom of the caliper (which would be the uppermost pin from the picture). Is that pin A then?

If it is the slider pin at the bottom of the caliper, then I would say it is Pin A.

The other guy's recommendation for getting them at Autozone sounds good, since you would be getting a set of them. gl
