If it's like most rear calipers that need to be turned back in, usually it works to just use a pair of needlenose pliers to engage the notches in the piston and turn.

it was a bitch to turn the rear ones on mine. I used a big flathead screwdriver and put the side of the end of the screwdriver in the slot. One of mine was easy to turn but the other took me a long time to bust loose.

Turn it whichever way makes the piston go back in instead of out further. It's a rather coarse thread so it will be obvious which way it is moving.

Well first off the tool i bought is too big to fit on the piston when its fully extended....and i cant get it to turn...i tried using a flat head and needlenose pliers to no avail...It is too cold to be sitting out there thinking of ideas so im wondering if yall have any more ideas..The calipers seem rather rusty...But i don't have the money to go get a set. Thanks for all
