Take your time with it. Don't forget to put the shims on, or the retainers.

The rear calipers need either needlenose pliers or that nifty square tool you can attach to a ratchet to run the piston back in. The fronts can be pressed back in with a c-clamp. Maybe a good time to flush the brake lines while doing this as well.
