Im about to change my rear disks and pads and all it looks fairly straight forward but i have a few questions
1. What do you use to get the piston back into the caliper? 2. Do i need to remove brake fluid from the booster so it doesnt overflow when the pistons pushed in the caliper? and if so can i just top it up with new fluid or does the whole thing have to be drained? 3. What should i use to remove the grease off the discs before they go on?

1: not 100% sure about EF's, but EA-ED's, you use a special tool to screw in the brake piston, if it hasnt got an integral handbrake, just use a G clamp to push the piston in
2: just keep an eye on the fluid level when you push the pistons back in, fluid can be topped up, but now is a good excuse to bleed some fresh fluid into the calipers 3: you can get brake cleaner in aerosol cans from most auto part shops
