Brake pins..... - SV650.org

Back in October I put the SV to sleep under a quilt in the garage. Got some time off this week, so I'll be waking it up.
I read a lot about the front brake pins, how its essential to check, wiggle, remove, grease, replace etc etc. A search on the forum shows 45 odd threads on the subject, but no pictures.
Can someone take a pic of the caliper for myself and any other thickies, with an arrow pointing to 'THESE PINS HERE' - or will it be painfully obvious when I get round to taking a look?

Fantastic, thanks for that.
Took them apart this afternoon, they came apart easily, but not after I had mullered one of the split pin thingies first.

Another question - what is the torque setting for reattaching the calipers to the forks with the two 14mm head bolts either side?

Tightish but not overtight

(that's if you can't find the torque setting)
