When I got mine done I replaced the caliper piston's anorl, last thing you need is a stiff/seized piston trashing the new disc's....

Oh and apparantely the discs are a bugger to get off the hub - someone said that if you bolt the hub back onto the wheel it gives you something to hold when you try to undo the bolts.....
 
If they're really tight on there after some hammering andswearing, another tips was that you can put the hub and disc in the oven for a bit to heat it up - shouldn't do any damage to anything as long as the bearings and that are out.

Are you doing new wheel bearings too?
