Watch fluid intake during install. Overfilling wrench holder will produce poor results.

When you push the pistons back in order to make space for the new pads I recommend that you open one of the bleeder valves on each caliper and let the fluid out through a tube and into a container rather than backing it up into the system. The fluid in the binders is often the most contaminated in the system and it can mess up your $$$ ABS unit. This is good for any car with ABS not just P cars.
Do you have a torque wrench? It is good to torque the lugs after reinstalling wheels.
