The rear bracket is usually shorter because it only needs to go through an insubstantial part of the frame, instead of the whole fork. If it's long enough, though, it shouldn't make a difference.
yes they are different
You usually have to take off the brake caliper, then the caliper mounting bracket to free the rotor.
Try about 25 lb. ft. for the caliper bracket.
Front caliper bolts 25 ft/lb Mounting bracket bolts 80ft/lb
it's called a caliper bracket
Front caliper mounting bracket bolts torque to 57ft-lbs Front caliper pin bolts torque to 27ft.lbs Rear Caliper mounting bracket bolts torque to 38ft-lbs Rear caliper pins torque to 15ft-lbs
If memory serves, 18mm. That would be the bracket bolt. The caliper bolt has a 9mm thread.

there should be a alen screw through the top and bottom of the caliper that bolts the caliper to the spinle mount bracket remove those two alen screws and the caliper will lift off of the disk and then the brake pads can be removed from the caliper.
Caliper Bracket 80 foot-pound, 19 mm bolt Caliper 37 foot-pound, 14 mm
The Rear Caliper Bottom Bolt head size is 12 mm. The Top bolt is enclosed only making it a slide bolt therefore you cant and really have no need to remove it. So the only bolt you should remove is the bottom 12mm head bolt. Then there will be a 14mm bolt that will hold the Emergency Brake Cable Bracket to the Caliper. Loosen this bolt and remove the Emergency Brake Cable Bracket from the Caliper. Then pry the bottom of the caliper up off the disc. This will allow you to swing the caliper up then push the caliper back to slide the caliper off the enclosed bolt slide at the top of the caliper. This will allow access to the inside and outside pads to remove them and allow you to press and rotate the Piston (Push and Twist-in Pistons) back into the Caliper with the right Brake Caliper Compression tool. The rear two Caliper Bracket bolt head sizes are 18mm. You must remove the Caliper bracket in order to remove the rear brake disc. The Front Brake Caliper Bolt is a 3/8" Allen head bolt. There will be two bolts holding the front calipers to the Spindle. The Front calipers are standard push-in Pistons.
Front or rear, remove wheel, remove caliper, remove caliper bracket, remove rotor.
