W211 Rear calipers with "Sports brakes" do the pistons need a rewind tool?

[DSM10000]

I have been meaning to get around to replacing the rear brake pads on the W211 (2008 Sport model) but other jobs keep taking priority and the car has hardly been used for 3 weeks.

Before I strip everything down and find I need another tool do the calipers need a wind back tool for the pistons or do they just push back?

If a wind back tool is required any recommendations gratefully received.

No tool required just push pistons back with g clamp or similar

Thanks!
I have used a G clamp and a piece of wood on many cars before.

sorry for going OT, but are your mats still for sale? I don’t have enough posts to ask on your advert and couldn’t work out how to pm. Thanks
