Fixed caliper rebuild. Any tips or advice?

So per my recent thread it seems that one of my pistons is getting stuck so I want to give my hand at rebuilding it.

I haven't done a caliper rebuild before but I found a video on YouTube for an sl500 4pot fixed caliper and I figure it would be the same process but with my 2 piston.

As far as brands go...the genuine MB is 45 a side while thr ATE kit is 10. Is there a big difference or is the ATE kit ok?

Any other general tips? My piston isn't frozen as I was able to push it back to get the new pads in...but it's just sticky and wearing one pad down faster than the other.

I'll do both calipers in the rear to maintain same braking power.
