I used channel locks to push back the pistons. Remove only one pad, with the cap off the master cylinder, push back the one piston, install new pad, repeat on the other pad. You may want to remove some fluid from the MC, (I did) as pushing back the piston will displace fluid, it has to go somewhere.
Good luck, and keep us posted.
