Rear Brakes

Do the rear calipers need some sort of special tool to wind the calipers back into their housings on the Evos? I got my rear rotors finally, and looking in the service manual, they have no mention of it, but they clearly show 3 holes in the face of the piston that leads me to think it's a typical screw in setup.

Searching the forums didn't come up with anything useful, any help would be apprechiated.

A pair of big grabbers and a good squeeze. You can crack the bleeder a little to assist. Since the ebrake is built into the hat there isnt a windup sprng internal in the caliper that I am aware. I have only had mine apart once but I was throwing new rotors on and not paying attention.

Coolness. I was gonna change to the two piece rotors last night, but I got lazy and decided to hold the couch down. I guess when you've waited 5 months for a part to arrive, the fuzzyness of having a new part to put on wears off.
