Do you need a special brake caliper tool to reset the rear caliper piston? Some car makes require that clamp tool with two pins on a round plate so you actual are rotating the piston as it squeezes the piston back into position. Typically we always use a C-clamp to reset the piston. I don't want to tear this down and not have this tool. I know GM's require it.
