Try to ask for the special tool used for compressing pistons. It is usually available at your local Autopartswarehouse store. This will absolutely save you a ton of time and aggravation.

the rear caliper pistons screw in I just used a 1/4 inch extension and welded the end to a peice of scrap metal and grinded out a small portion of it so i could hook it to a socket wench. it works great and makes it easy and cheap.
