I used the YouTube video that was previously posted, and luckily they were the same calipers as mine and very helpful.

Also worth checking whether the pistons themselves are sticking. I found one of them was on my 740, the dust seal had been damaged in the past at some point and despite a number of attempts to clean it up and lubricate it, the calliper was still dragging and causing the brake to run hot. There was obviously dirt or debris that was stopping the piston fully releasing.
In the end I had to fit a new calliper.
