TomsFocus Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 You don't need anything special for these, just wind them in with a pair of needle nose pliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 You don't need much pressure, they should wind back easily, you certainly don't want to be pushing the piston back in. The caliper is probably seized if it won't wind back. You can try putting a lever into the pliers for more leverage, long screwdriver or similar.
