Two additional suggestions.

- When you are ready to tap the pins out before pulling the old pads out, put on a good quality mask so you do not inhale any dust, and vacuum up the floor, caliper, rotor, etc. Brake dust is bad stuff.

- Have a large C-clamp handy to force the pistons back into the calipers to accomodate the thickness of the new pads.
