Has been setting 7 or 8 years front left wheel dragging badly . Took front tire off I see 2 rubber plugs I think for pins but cannot find bolts to remove caliper .
The rubber "plugs "are the retaining pins,have to drive them out
with a punch and hammer. Also,have seen a lot if vehicles that
sit develop a restriction in the rubber hose that goes to the caliper,
The restriction is inside the hose so you can't see it. If this is the problem,after hitting the brakes ,open the bleeder on that wheel,
if fluid comes out under pressure and the wheel will turn after that,
it's the brake hose.

Sometimes they use a T-50 torx bit, and sometimes they use either a 15mm or 18mm bolt, however the caliper bracket is a 21mm bolt

On my Golf 1.9TDI (2005) both top and bottom Calliper fastenings have a 7mm Allen bolt thus you will need a non standard 7mm Allen Key not 12 point
