You Have To Turn Them In With A Special Tool It Pushes And Turns The Cilinder Back Into The Caliper
Note That On The Rear The One Has To Be Turned Clockwise And The Other Counter Clockwise

Does this apply only to the rear calipers or all 4? Also does Jag use a conventional ebrake setup or is it a drum inside the rotor hat ebrake assembly?

The rear ones are the only ones you have to turn. The fronts are like most cars

does it require a special tool or would vice grips work? also do the calipers require a hex nut to get them apart?
