Default Anyone in Bay Area help with PCCB Pad Change

This is my first time changing the pads on my PCCBs, so was wondering if any of you local guys who do this would be willing to help me/show me as I dont want to damage the rotors when doing this. I dont mind driving over to you.

I'm doing a swap to 2 pc rotors up front this weekend, you can come to my house and see me do it.

Pad changes are super easy on porkas. Less than 20 mins per corner, that includes taking off the wheels and putting everything back together, and a bleeding!

Yup know those guys well as they did my software and track exhaust. Im not too concerned with running into a snag, just want to see the extra care taken if i have to push the pistons in to fit the new pads or if I need any special tools to do it.

You have to be very careful not to chip the rotors or scratch your caliper while pushing the pistons in. I use one of these: http://www.uucmotorwerks.com/CALIPER_SPREADER/
