Even if your not checking back, I feel compelled to reply.
Supramania your better than this, almost reminds me of another forum.
I just finished a total part out, even got the subframes. I did through the course of dismanteling come across the exact caliper bolt that Jason described. Was on the rear only, and, only on the right side.
Bottom bolt was normal, top bolt was oddly an outer stainless cap with rubber molded into the inside.
I did not remove it as the rears were severly rusted, incl the subframe. It went away on the rollback today along with a very empty shell. If not I would have gladly posted it up.
Jason if I were to repair, I would take a screwdriver and pry off that cap. As per the link below it is part number 47766c.

A better phrased question would have resulted in a better answer. He didnt even tell us it was a rear caliper, I assumed it was front, and I would wager viper did as well. He has access to the TSRM, just like the rest of us, he could have looked it up.
Had he said "I looked it up the rear caliper assy on TSRM and theres something in the way. (47766c), How do I get in there." so his issue is bolt 47721d, and guess what, you tighten it with a wrench or a ratchet. Your question was how to I tighten it, not how do i get to it. Fifteen fucking question marks didnt help either.

once the black cap comes off 47766c the bolt is resessed meaning a wrench or socket or adjustable or any kinda of tool will not fit , the bolt is inside . and it is the front left calipper. like i said if it looked like the bottom bold 47721d i wouldnt be asking this question... i dont know how else to explain the bolt is inside. i would think u need a deep thin wall socket . but i figured id ask u guys quick so i know exsactly what to do and the first anwser i get is use a wrench. i might be dumb but i am not that much of an idiot. thanks for the help again
You should be able to get a thin wall socket in there. IF you cant, buy a cheap ass socket from autozone, and grind the outside down until it just barely fits. It wont split open because it will be pressing againste the edge of the hole its recessed in.
That pin is mounted to the caliper bracket and the caliper slides completely off it.
You should never have to "tighten" it, unless the bolt breaks or some crap...

ok thanks cause the front left calipper was hanging down. which is weird. i didnt think it was right... from top to bottom. never saw something like this lol... ive done alot of brakes and never did them on a mk3. but thanks for the help i appreciate it
I missed that. Davis posted a link to there rear caliper, and the op refered to the part numbers from that page. Missed his post saying it was the front, my bad.
