Very dull question about Nissan Almera brakes :)

[Codefaster]

Hi folks,

I was going to replace the pads/discs on the front of my wife's 2003 Almera Tino DCI. It just occurred to me that my old Nissan used to have those screwback/rewind caliper pistons that require a special tool.

Does anyone know if this car has push-back pistons or rewind type?

Thanks!

The wind-back pistons are generally only used on the rear wheels because they're used for the handbrake mechanism. If you're only doing the front brakes then you won't need a special tool. You can usually wind the pistons back on the rear brakes anyway if you use your imagination and a bit of patience (although be careful not to damage it).
