MIcky. You will need the 'Wind back tool' as the rear pistons cannot be 'pushed' back. The cheapest unit is the cube,usually 3/8 drive, shown On this page (http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=Brake+wind+back+cube&_sacat=See-All-Categories). :)

The rear pads have a little tag on them, itd important that these line up witj the cutouts on the pisron

Both pistons wind in clockwise.

Good point Gozz! You'll need to push just a little bit as well, and it'll take a lot more winding than you think.
