A spesific tool is not always needed as you can get by with long nose pliers angle grinder disc locking tool etc etc,anything than can locate in the pins to turn the piston, alternatively go to your local motor factors or halfords and get one for ford applications .

Not a gripe or anything but this is one of those times its worth putting your location in your profile apart from just UK, as there may well be someone local who could lend you one .........

I've got one from my local motor factors - it's a Draper tool "caliper windback tool for Ford ABS brakes".

I live in Halifax and am happy to lend out. Only costs about a tenner I think though and is a doddle to use.
