These are some good instructions. http://www.bombaydigital.com/boxster/projects/brakes/change_pads/ To compress the pistons I like to use pliers around the pad "ear" and caliper. It's super fast and easy. Put a folded shop towel between the pliers and caliper so not to scratch the paint. The first time I tried a fat screw driver per the DIY and snapped the shaft half way through.

Or auto mechanics gloves if prone to injury as I am. This coming from someone who (accidentally) put a drill bit through his left thumbnail ... twice.
