'86-up uses a single-piston design where the caliper slides sideways
(to take up pad/disc wear) on guide pins mounted to a frame that
bolts to the steering knuckle.  Pads insert into the frame and the
caliper mounts above them (to change pads you undo one of the guide
pins and swivel the caliper on the other one).
