And make sure you dont have any idiot friends standing in friends standing in front of the calliper. I had a mate with a corker of an O shaped bruise that lasted for over a month, it went such pretty colours lol

And don't wrap your fingers around a caliper frame as it's an easy way to hold it when you ease the piston out with shop pressure air . . . and when the piston comes out, and cockles over so it won't slide back in, make sure there's a damn great vice there to put the piston back into the bore any way it will just to get your fingers back out . . .
