Rear piston retraction

[Wellard91]

Hey guys, is there a specific tool needed to push back the rear Caliper piston? Does it just push in, like with a c clamp or will turning it with some grips and force work? Or do I need a tool, think I can buy one off euro for like £14 🤷‍♂️ It’s like a corkscrew with a flat circular plate with two notches.

It winds in just find something to stick in the notches, easier with the tool like screwfix do one I think.

Thanks it’s a 200 if that means anything and was hoping I didn’t need a tool 👍

Ah right yeah there more difficult without the tool.

If you've got a angle grinder spanner give that a try.

I did mine this week and used a screwdriver to wind the rear pistons in (clockwise). There shouldn’t be much resistance. The piston has a cross shape in it so you can wedge in and turn [emoji1303]
