brake pads, oil and filter change

[darrenc]

I have a can of brake cleaner so will give the rear pistons a good clean, I hear they are prone to seize on the rear. Likewise I will clean front ones as well. I don't have red rubber grease, is it safe to put that on pistons? I heard you shouldn't really grease pistons up as they will attract dirt??  I do have copper greace, would you recommend that for back of pads? Good points regarding filter, will only hand tighten
