When re-building the Master cyl you will need Snap-ring pliers. At least I did on mine

You will also need 2 beers and some cool 70's biker posters on the wall, and a decent Rock Station on the radio....CD's and albums do not create the right vibe

Use the lube or you may find getting that piston back into the caliper isn't so simple . Dot5 doesn't have any lubricating qualities to it at all , may feel slick but isn't . Under pressure like pressing a very close fit piston over that o-ring DOT 5 will grab not slide that's the problem . Any heavy silicon based O-RING lube for should work in a pinch and is compatible with DOT 5 .
