I've got the wheel and caliper off, but I apparently need a brake

Can folks please confirm that I can't just push the caliper back with
a G clamp?


I have seen a youtube video of someone doing that on an Astra H
rear caliper. The trick is to apply pressure with a clamp and
at the same time rotate the piston.

Some cars need a pair of rewind tools because each side is
handed.


I have a set like that in a nice plastic box for about £17 from ebait...
