Caliper pins

A friend called. He has a Grand Marquis, I believe it's a 2006 with ABS.
Said a caliper pin shattered on him Saturday while hand-tightening it.
Got replacements (for $100!) and they gave him two different-sized pins
and boots. We can't find any information on which pin goes where, i.e.
whether the thinner pin is on top or bottom. Five dealer mechanics
gave five different answers (to an A/B question, go figger), and my
EBSCO on-line source gives no clues.

So does the big pin go on top or on the bottom?

Check the other side.

This could have happened to me: he's had them apart and never noticed the
difference until the new pins. He only noticed on the new ones because
one pin is fluted on the new ones. So the other side is probably put
together with whatever pin fit wherever.

Not far, but I wouldn't want to walk it.
