Yes i need to put some new pads in the back and will need a piston rewing tool, or two
A screwdriver will do the job lol they are push in pistons
Lol i have always opted to find another tool in the box for the job but dont fancy going through the seals and creating more work this time... i always slip and rip one... the do a tool on ebay for like £8 they come in left or right but i cant remember which way they go.
I usually use wide pliers (or 'water pump' pliers as they seem to be called) to close the pistons down, never had a problem in all the years I've been doing it.
They're only a few quid from Screwfix

Got an old discovery now.
are they not wind back pistons?
Dont take this the wrong way but how many people on this thread have told you ypu dont need a wind back tool but still persist to say you need one best thing to do is go buy one and then find out it wont work or fit as its not needed
Take it to a garage mate for the £35 they`ll charge u
Gona get him to do my cambelt lol cant get it wrong any more than me pmsl
Basically you only need to wind the pistons in if the handbrake is incorperated into the caliper, your's aren't, as people have said the handbrake uses shoes within the disc bell. You have twin cylinder calipers on the rear and most wind back tools won't fit them anyway so push the pistons back in with a large screwdriver, g clamp or any of the other methods suggested.
