Hi brake techies, do the pistons in the rear brake caliper,push back or screw back ? Standard 400 brakes (Sierra I think) Cheers .If they push back I think mine are seized,how would I un-seize it ?

...or I think I paid about £15 for a big set of wind in tools from a well known auction site that was exactly the same as the set sold by a high street motorists store for about £75.
