In my limited experience, it would be worth pushing out the piston and greasing. Also making sure the bleed nipple is still functional, preferably removing it and putting a bit of anti-seize on it. At some point in the future when the piston may get seized and cause the brakes to bind, this type of maintenance comes in handy. A stuck piston or a stuck bleed nipple can be something that requires either a lot of caliper refurbishment or more usually trading the caliper in for a refurbished one (expensive). One of the advantages of doing your own maintenance is that you can do the little extras.

Why did he open the brake bottle maybe to purge air?

[@balmahal5541]

When pushing the calliper piston back the movement of brake fluid back to the master cylinder can lead up to a build up of pressure. By removing the cap it prevents the risk of pressure build up. It's best practice.

Y did u scrap discs?. Can we know the logic behind it

[@balmahal5541]

It provides a roughy surface for the new brake pads to bed on to.
