There are videos on YouTube. Nothing special about it. Getting the pistons out can sometimes be fun. Think some do that part in situ.

Pistons can be popped out using an air line,just watch where you put your fingers and wear eye protection. ​

Plus 1 ref the air pump

I rebuilt my calipers using one, really helpful when putting the piston/ seal back in by slowly using the air pump until the seal went in

also found this video helpful

Safer than an air line for sure.

Indeed, , wouldnt fancy using an airline in case u end up digging the piston out of the wall

plus must admit using the foot pump u could gently increase the pressure bit by bit to get the old piston out and the new seal in

indeed, but must admit at the end of the day wish I had bought new or exchange calipers as there wasn’t much difference in price

wouldn’t bother messing around on the D3 and would buy new calipers, think there around £70
