I used a ziplock plastic bag taped to a 10" plastic drain pipe to collect the extra brake fluid when you squeeze the calipers. Probably helps to add in about 3 ounces to keep the pipe from sucking back air. That way you can use both hands to concentrate on pushing back the calipers.

I used a block of 2x4 wood and a crowbar to push back the calipers on my 940 single piston. It was murder to budge with just a pliers.

Read up all the tips in the FAQ.

I did the rotors on mine... took a long time to do both. Next time will be quicker though.
