If you want to keep your brakes quiet and your calipers from sticking, this is a good way to start. What are your thoughts?

In this brake service, Is there any need to push the caliper piston back?
I am trying it for first time and all you showed look simple but someone told me that I would need to push piston back in. What is your advice in this regard.
Thanks in advance

You only need to push the piston back if you’re changing pads. If you need to push the piston back, be sure you crack the bleeder valve open to avoid damage to the master cylinder. That is outlined in the disc brake replacement videos.
