also be aware of the rubber gasket at the base of the piston and caliper, make sure it dosen't bind up as you push the piston back in.

I know quite a few people, my dad included, who feel you have to open the reservoir cap first before compressing the calipers with a C clamp. I never understood this - why??? The system is sealed, it's not like air or fluid needs to escape or anything. So I never did it. Every time I've done my brakes I compress the calipers without popping the cap and have never had a problem.
Just my $.02.
