new brakes

[winder]

hi
i have got to fit new discs and pads to the front of my vtr and pads on the back. i need to know what size in mm the bolts are that hold the carrier on to the back of the suspension. also does the whole calliper come apart in two and is it possible to do it without taking the back bit off?

back bit needs to come off i dont think you could manouvere the disc out or in without taking the carrier off, my caliper guide pins were a 7mm hex bit and the caliper carrier bolts were either 17 or 19mm

cool i have got the 7mm hex but i dont think i have got a 19mm (trip to halfords in order). how long do you recon it would take to do both sides and fit pads to the back?
