My Grande Punto 1.2 2007 petrol model does NOT have the brake calipers where you remove the cir-clip and the caliper swings up allowing removing of the pads. I checked some videos on YouTube and each was different - one removed the two bolts at the back of the caliper and then removed the caliper leaving the pads on the disk (& then removing\replacing the pads on the disk), the other method was removing two bolts at the back of the calipers (the one bolt was close to the center of the disc) and then removing the whole caliper including the pads - then replacing the pads in the caliper and bolting the whole caliper back on with the pads inserted.

Which is the 'correct' method? help!
