Winding back rear caliper pistons on a cupra!!

[Cupra Tommy]

Morning,
Looking to do my rear pads at the weekend,so going to need to wind the pistons back in, been looking at the rewind tool, but what I want to know is..
Do I need a right and left handed tool, one for either side??
Or does it just need the right handed threaded one??
Or can I do it without the tool all together??
Cheers

Right hand thread.. And cause these are all over 11yrs old I would recommend the tool... G clamp and screwdriver takes an age!!!! Not to mention it can be seized and the tool won't shift it!!

Make sure the distance between the pins on the tool Are correct.. As you can get a tool too big and too small!! If it has an end with two pinned sides chances are one will be ok...

This covers all bases and would let you earn some money doing friends brakes...

^ That. Also try not to pop the piston out, if you do you better make sure you don't have any plans for the evening.
