Hope this helps somebody out and thank you to the creator of the DIY!

Thanks for directing us to the updated site. It looks like the link is not working, but the data is still on the website. Here is the updated version:

And here is the overall page with several other videos and how to’s:

And just my own contribution real quick. Regarding re-installing the snap ring in the caliper body...I know that this step can be pretty difficult because the internal mechanism has to be pressed down and the snap ring has to be squeezed. So here’s what I came up with:
I used the smallest deep socket that would fit over the internal screw mechanism and a socket extension. I then used the clamp to compress the internal mechanism below the snap ring depth.
From there, it was super easy to drop in the snap ring, squeeze it with the snap ring pliers and put it in place. Zero effort, the snap ring just slipped right in. Super easy.

I will do this Job in the spring. If i dare. In my opinon it is important to lube every rubber part and seal with the sepcial brake caliper greas, AKA as "red rubber grease" or the one from ATE.

I also didn’t have to blow up the caliper with air to get the dust boot on the piston, although that did look easy enough. I put the boot on the piston first, laid the caliper flat on the table, put the bottom portion of the seal into the inner groove, and then used my fingers and a pick to press the top of the boot into the inner groove. Took about 30 seconds and sealed perfect
The most confusing thing was just where to use each grease. I ended up using the red grease for all of the moving parts and insides of the seals in the caliper. The orange grease for the sliding pins, and the shin itsu grease on the outside of ALL rubber. No idea is that’s correct because the service manual for the S2000 doesn’t mention anything about three types of grease, it only mentions 1 type and uses it for everything.
