Default 99 Beetle Brake Caliper Piston

Trying to get the brakes done on the Beetle. I have everything done on the front, only thing holding me up on the back is getting the pistons back in, I thought they were the normal push in with a c clamp type. Buddy of mine told me they may be screw in with this special tool. Can anybody shed any light on this? Getting sort of frustrated!! Thanks in advance!

Unless the pistons were leaking I probably would not have removed them. But, since you have the onlyrecommendation I have is what the service manual states. It states that you have to rotate the piston clockwise while pushing on it. Tools to do this are found at most auto parts stores. Hope this helps a little.
