Default New disks and pads

Brake pad warning light came on a week ago so decided to change the pads.

Got them this morning from GSF and then set about changing them.
Decided that the discs have seen better days so bought a set of these.

OK - read all the previous posts about the bolts holding the calipers on and being a bitch to get off, but noticed that the caliper on the outside is held in with a couple of nuts - could I just undo these (they are like larger allen key style nuts - about 12 MM across I think).
If I could get this off, then the outside pads will just fall out and I'm sure the brake disk will also come off.

Should I do this??

Cheers
