Going off the top of my head here I think the carrier bolts are 13mm, I'll have a check later.

Hand brake the up and down is the handbrake adjustment which is more for tightening the handbrake if after you've changed discs and pads you holding on 5 click's (this is what MOT go to according to my MOT guy) your all good.

Don't forget to remove the cap off the fluid bottle when winding/ push the pistons back.

I can't for the life of me remember which way to wind them back.
