Are you talking about the piston in the brake caliper?
If so,a G clamp wound slowly would do the job. :D

[carl bear]

yeah, the piston in the rear brake caliper. i thought it needed to twisted and compressed at the same time.

thanks

indeed it does need to be twisted and compressed at the same time..

there may be no option but to buy a kit..Thou you can use slip joint pliers if you're careful with the boot on the piston..Be aware thou that not all kits come with the 21mm adaptor to fit vectra-c..

you cna get a piston wind back tool at halfords in the sykes pickavant section. about £15 - £20.

Well it works on the ford calipers fitted to my caterham. See no reason shy it should not work on other calipers too.
