I also found this an elegant solution to make sure that all 4 pistons come out evenly. Keep one pad there, so they can almost come all the way out. It saves one popping out and ruining it for the rest of 'em.

That is bad but I have seen worse.

Once the calipers are back together again,be careful how you use your brakes until you recalibrate yourself to brakes that will work so much better.

Sidewinder, brake fluid should be clear-ish, not dark and semi solid. Also all the seals are full of gunk as you can see.

I have barely used my front brake in a while, I tend to come to a halt with my back brake but use engine braking for everything.

Pure luck Paddy, pure luck.

I can't remember the last time I've had to properly slam on.
