Really newbish question on missing bolt for drivers side brake caliper

Well my mom was complaining about a funny sound from the tire well when she went over bumps. So I pulled off the tire to check it out... and found that the caliper is just sitting on there ...barely.

You know the bolt you can pop out on top or bottom to be able to flip the caliper up and change the pads? Both of those are missing. I'm not sure how she managed to keep this thing on.

My only problem is, where can I find these bolts? Ace hardware? Will checker or Autozone have them?

And my 2nd problem is.. how am I going to match up that bolt when I get there? take off the passenger side tire and pull out that bolt ?

Thanks.

you got it go to the parts store with a bolt from the other side and get the exact thread and get one with it's own washer
Or you can go to the Toyota Dealership and tell them exactly whats missing. They will show you a diagram and confirm whats missing and then they will get it for you. You can probably get them for like 2 dollars each.
hehe woops I probably should have read that earlier.I just bought a set of them for 15 bucks at autozone :X
Whatever. Just get 'em ON! ASAP!
