Strangely my son got a package yesterday , in it was a brake piston rewind tool he had ordered before we did his brakes! Will have it for the fronts now, he never even told me he had seen one and ordered one!

The fronts should just push back in with some forceful thumbs. The rewind tool is really for the rears which have to twist as they get pushed in  :happy2:
