The confusing bit is that there are 3 lots of fixings mentioned in the table when in reality there are only 2 lots of fixings. Here's a pic using Rave's terminology:



No part of the caliper (housing or carrier) fixes on to the hub - the carrier fixes on to the trailing arm - therefore there is no such thing as a 'Caliper to hub bolt'.
