A big *** socket is nice for the job though 
WHen you pull the caliper off the rotor, run some metal wire, or an unravelled coat hanger to hang it from say the spring or something, so it doesn't pull the wire.

Just another tip an trick...
When you use the c-clamp to compress the caliper piston back in, put the brake pad back on the piston side before using the c-clamp. That way the piston doesn't bind up because you may be pushing the piston back in diagonaly it you clamp the edge of the piston.

Did y'all mentio removing the cap from the master cylinder? If ya don't, when you are compressing the cylindr piston, there'* no place for the pressure to go. You can damn near break your wrist trying to tighten the C clamp otherwise. Again, trust me...
