One tip is to start with the pistons fully retracted, less space in the caliper to air to be sitting.

Good tip. I use a C-clamp with a bit plastic protection strip to press the pistons in so it's easier to slide the caliper over the discs. I use red brake grease,

on the pins after de-corrosion and polishing them and a very thin smear of copper grease/slip on the back of the pads to aid the anti-squeal clips.
