how do I dismantle citroen rear brake calipers?

Hi, I need to replace the seals on my rear calipers as one of them is leakin and failed the MOT.
I have the seal kit, but before I start, I want to make sure I have the right tools and equipment.

the caliper in question was pretty seized when I fitted new discs and pads recently.
I need to know, how to take the piston out
what sort of grease I should use to refit the moving parts
are there any tricks or things to watch out for when removing the caliper (I was assumin I’d need to take the caliper off to crefit the seals)
are there any special tools that I might require?

thanks in advance for your help,
Matt
just wanted to add, its all very well people advising me not to do it etc.
Please just answer my question, if you are able to. I don’t want to know if I shouldn’t be doing it.
Thanks

Replacing the seals on a brake calliper is fairly straight forward as long as you stick with a couple of simple rules.
First make sure you clean all around the calliper before you remove it, then remove the calliper but don’t disconnect the brake pipe.
Next put the calliper in a plastic bucket and then pump the brake pedal until the piston is pushed out if the calliper.
You can remove pistons from callipers with compressed air but if you do not have a compressor the brake pedal is the best way to get it out.
Next clean the calliper and the piston with brake cleaning spray, you need to be almost surgically clean when working on the brake callipers.
Next remove the brake bleed nipple from the calliper.
Next visually check the seals on the piston and the new seals that you have just to make sure that you can see how they fit back together.
Next remove the old seals and visually inspect the bore of the calliper of any wear. If you find any scratches, pit marks or any other types of damage scrap the calliper as its not possible to repair it with out specialist equipment.
Next replace the seals in the same order as you removed them, next put some clean brake fluid on the seals and the inside of the calliper.
Next very carefully insert the piston back into the calliper.
Try to push their piston in as far as you can by hand, then use a “G” clamp or vice to push the piston the rest of the way in.
All you now need to do is re-fit the calliper and bleed the brakes on all four wheels.
Ja.
