I realize this advise is a little late, but here goes:

Whenever I play with automotive wiring I try to mark them but the labels usually fall of. Then I came up with an idea.
I have a set of 1000 zip ties I bought from harbor freight tools for about $6. There and many different colors and sizes, so I started using the zip ties to color code the wires. One blue one on the wire and one on the plug, no way I can screw that up.
When I get to the point where I've used up all the colors i start using combinations, lie a red and blue, or two reds, etc. makes life easier and they won't fall off.

Also, whe trying to remove a stuck piston in a caliper I've had some luck using a grease gun. They will build up a shit load of pressure (around 2500 psi at least) and that is enough to get any psiton free.
Caution is required to make sure the piston doesn't hit you in the head or go through the wall but it can be done safely. You just have to make sure you get every bit of grease out afterwards, or load up the grease gun with brake fluid.
