The rear caliper has a screw type piston just screw it back in with some channel ocks using a rag on the teeth.

Or what I use, so as not to scratch things up, is a set of needle nose pliers. Line them up in the notches, push and turn clockwise. Get a good grip so they don't slip off...

or go to a parts store and buy the tool for 10 bucks...

just like slideways said... get the tool , 10 bucks for a lifetime of not having to care no more is cheap enough

Yeah , its a cube with 3/8 ratchet fittings on all sides , and 2 pins on all sides for most makes and model (acura/nissan just to name some) im pretty sure an independant garage would be willing to lend to ya
(I asked the garage in my neck of the woods and they gladly let me borrow it)
