Put down any tools and bring it to someone who knows what they're doing. You're loosening and tightening 3 bolts and pushing the piston back into the caliper. It's only 1 bolt if you didn't take the rotor off and have it turned or replace it. Pretty easy.

all done, thanks everyone for the help, sorry about the noob question, but like i said, ive never had abs before, I torqued the bolts to the right spec, and it turned out that on the driver side the G and L bolts were in the wrong holes, i guess i do that a lot, hitting the wrong hole (on accident... yeah right)
i also bled the brakes because it was a little loose after i got in, and brake fluid doesnt feel good on the hands, ouch.

Your welcome tom, glad we could be of help ;) Let me know if I can hook ya up with some of those calipers.

I am a little surprised at your request that I don't offer my ideas for help. I always do my best to assist you. Like hooking a line from the compressor outlet to the crankcase breather, I can't believe you didn't follow my suggestion on that idea. Consider all the mad power you would have been making with boost pushing up on the bottom of the pistons as well!

Actually on ABS systems you should always open the bleeders when you compress the caliper pistons back in.I've seen plenty of ABS damage by NOT doing so.
You are correct sir, very correct.
