make sure you take off the brake fluid cap in the engine bay, then you can use a C-clamp and a block of wood to pust the pistons back into the caliper. It not really a hard job, I had mine changed out in about 1/2 hr -45 mins at the most. To pop off the old rotors you have to remove those little push nut thingsand the caliper bracket and the rotor will pop off..break in directions are on the box

a hammer is a great tool.

Never heard anyone that likes raybestos, meaning worth the money.
