Get a ball joint seperator. Definately makes things go faster. Need a big C clamp for compressing the pistons. Got a torque wrench?

A story about why you should always double check:

Did full brake swa/ supension upgrade. Full teg suspenion, new shocks, springs, lines, bushings pads etc. While im finishing up with the prop. valve I have my buddy, who I deem trustworthy as we both work on eachothers cars a alot, go through and torque down everything. My other friend is helping him by calling out the torque required for each bolt. We get done and I drive the car to work. On the way home god awful sounds. We get in to go test it out some more and it keeps dragging backing out of my driveway, but not when I pull forward. Turns out he didnt tighten down one of the bolts that holds on the caliper enough soit had fallen out and now it was pivoting by the remaining botl and dragging on the inside of my wheel.

My advice is use loctite and doublecheckk all your stuff !
