Ok so the top thing in the picture is my brake caliper assembly. Its a whole unit, caliper does not remove from the hanger bracket.
The bottom is the caliper only. No one seems to sell the bracket it attaches to nor do they sell the whole assembly like mine is.
I've been to auto zone, advance auto, pep boys, car quest, napa and O'Reilly. Any help finding this part or part number would be greatly appreciated.

There are allen head bolts inside the two tubes on the bottom side of each of those in your pic. Remove those allen bolts and you will be good.

Yeah.. not happening. There just round inside.
Btw these are original from 87.
There is not a way to unscrew anything. No odd shape of any kind to get a bite.

If the allen bolts that are in the old ones have had the head rounded out, you can drill them out.
Get a flashlight and shine it in there and compare it to the new caliper.
The calipers on my '88 are the same.
