Default Rear caliper bolts

Hi guys, tried to remove the bolts on my rear calipers yesterday to change the discs and they're stuck fast and starting to round. I've bought some bolt removers (socket and spanner type - hopefully I can get in at them with one or t'other) but I'm obviously going to destroy the bolts whatever happens. Does anyone know the size so I can replace them? Is it these on Rimmerbros?

11) Screw - LYG500350 - Genuine

Also, she's an 05 Cdti - do I need a wind back tool?? I have a tool which pushes pistons back in but doesn't wind??

Many thanks

Hi guys I managed to get the caliper bolts out with a bolt remover socket (great piece of kit), aviator spanner and open ender / lump hammer. Thought I'd change the hand brake shoes too whilst it's all apart but the retaining pins are either bent, threads nackard or pulled through the backplate. Can anyone point me in the right direction of some new ones?? Should be OK to get a washer behind the bolt to stop it coming through the plate but one of the springs has been completely distorted so I'm guna need the real pins / springs rather than just replace the bolts with a similar size... Thanks
