you got yourself a caliper wind back tool?

A good tool kit should have everything you need, can't remember specifics but this should help

carrier bolts are 8mm allen bolts , and they will be tight, be careful not to round them or you will have a nightmare. caliper bolts are 13mm hex. The disc retain screw is phillips , and may be seized on . wd40 it before you go near it .

This.
I accidentally rounded mine, and every attempt to remove it failed, luckily you can just about remove the disc without removing this bolt, if you wiggle it a lot. so i ended up just removing the disc and leaving the bolt alone.
