    I know snapon sells a tool for them b/c i have one, but I believe sears or napa sells a tool for the rear caliper piston. It screws back into place.

    You can rent the tools you need for it at Advance Auto, Zone, etc. . . You buy it but can return it in 45 days for a full refund. I used it to do mine, basicly you almost need a giant ass flathead screw driver, but the tool that you can borrow makes it sooo much easier to change rear brakes.
