Re: 4 pistons caliper brakes/pad installions
I always compressed the pistons while the caliper was still attached, but loose... just by prying on the brake pad on each side w large screwdriver.

I agree, This is the best method... I will loosen the master cyl cover first.

Re: 4 pistons caliper brakes/pad installions
I don't know if this has been mentioned yet -- DON'T get any of the brake fluid on a painted surface ... it may remove/mar the paint! TAZ
