As per the title - I've got an '06 (mk2) Focus Estate which is due new rear pads. However, neither of the two caliper rewind tools I have will fit the piston, which appears to need a tool with thin pins at about 20mm centres (rather than the 22mm tool I have, whose pins won't pop into the holes individually).

Can anyone point me in the right direction for a suitable tool? A quick ebay check throws up the same Sealey type tool I've got and a huge set of rewind adaptors that I'll probably never need again. Any help or info would be appreciated. Ta.

Needle nose pliers, just insert in the holes, push in and turn.

Be careful not to touch the boot and rip it, but it's the easier way most of the time.
